Het tweede antwoord van God (vervolg)
41 Niemand is zó roekeloos dat hij hem zou durven uitdagen.
Wie zou Mij dan wel durven uitdagen?
2 Wie zou het tegen Mij durven opnemen?
Ik zou niets van hem overlaten!
Alles onder de hemel is van Mij.
3 En dan heb Ik het nog niet eens over zijn poten en zijn kracht.
Kijk eens hoe sterk hij is en hoe prachtig hij er uitziet!
4 Wie durft zijn huid af te stropen?
Wie durft teugels om zijn kop te slaan?
5 Wie durft zijn muil open te doen?
Zijn tanden zien er angstaanjagend uit!
6 Zijn rug bestaat uit beschermende platen.
Ze zitten dicht tegen elkaar aan,
als één groot geheel.
7 Ze zitten zó dicht tegen elkaar aan,
dat zelfs de wind er niet tussen kan komen.
8 Ze sluiten precies op elkaar aan.
Ze grijpen in elkaar, zodat niemand ze vaneen kan krijgen.
9 Als hij niest, zie je het licht schitteren.
Zijn ogen schitteren rood als de opkomende zon.
10 Uit zijn muil komen vlammen.
Vuurvonken schieten er uit.
11 Uit zijn neusgaten komt rook,
zoals er damp komt uit een kokende pan.
12 Zijn adem steekt houtskool in brand.
Er komen vlammen uit zijn bek.
13 Zijn nek is één en al kracht.
Alles en iedereen is bang voor hem.
14 Zijn vlees is strak en gespierd.
Het zit als een pantser om hem heen.
15 Zijn binnenste is zo hard als een steen.
Het is zo hard als een molensteen.
16 Als hij zich opricht,
zijn de moedigste mensen nog bang voor hem.
Ze raken helemaal in paniek.
17 Hij is niet met een zwaard, speer, pijlen of een ander wapen te doden,
want elk wapen breekt.
18 IJzer is voor hem als stro.
Koper is voor hem als rot hout.
19 Pijlen kunnen hem niet op de vlucht jagen.
Slingerstenen zijn voor hem als plukken droog gras.
20 Een knots is voor hem als een bosje stro.
Hij lacht erom als hij met een speer wordt bedreigd.
21 Aan zijn buik zitten scherpe punten.
Die snijden door de modder
zoals een ploeg door de aarde snijdt.
22 Als hij in het water is, gaat het water koken.
De zee om hem heen borrelt als een pan met kokend water.
23 Achter hem is een lichtgevend spoor te zien.
Dat komt doordat het water grijs wordt van het schuim.
24 Geen ander dier op aarde
is zo sterk en indrukwekkend als hij.
Voor niets en niemand is hij bang.
25 Hij kijkt neer op alle wilde dieren.
Hij is hun koning.
Job 41
New International Version
Job 41
New International Version
41 [a]“Can you pull in Leviathan(A) with a fishhook(B)
or tie down its tongue with a rope?
2 Can you put a cord through its nose(C)
or pierce its jaw with a hook?(D)
3 Will it keep begging you for mercy?(E)
Will it speak to you with gentle words?
4 Will it make an agreement with you
for you to take it as your slave for life?(F)
5 Can you make a pet of it like a bird
or put it on a leash for the young women in your house?
6 Will traders barter for it?
Will they divide it up among the merchants?
7 Can you fill its hide with harpoons
or its head with fishing spears?(G)
8 If you lay a hand on it,
you will remember the struggle and never do it again!(H)
9 Any hope of subduing it is false;
the mere sight of it is overpowering.(I)
10 No one is fierce enough to rouse it.(J)
Who then is able to stand against me?(K)
11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay?(L)
Everything under heaven belongs to me.(M)
12 “I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,(N)
its strength(O) and its graceful form.
13 Who can strip off its outer coat?
Who can penetrate its double coat of armor[b]?(P)
14 Who dares open the doors of its mouth,(Q)
ringed about with fearsome teeth?
15 Its back has[c] rows of shields
tightly sealed together;(R)
16 each is so close to the next
that no air can pass between.
17 They are joined fast to one another;
they cling together and cannot be parted.
18 Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
its eyes are like the rays of dawn.(S)
19 Flames(T) stream from its mouth;
sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke pours from its nostrils(U)
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
21 Its breath(V) sets coals ablaze,
and flames dart from its mouth.(W)
22 Strength(X) resides in its neck;
dismay goes before it.
23 The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm and immovable.
24 Its chest is hard as rock,
hard as a lower millstone.(Y)
25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified;(Z)
they retreat before its thrashing.(AA)
26 The sword that reaches it has no effect,
nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.(AB)
27 Iron it treats like straw(AC)
and bronze like rotten wood.
28 Arrows do not make it flee;(AD)
slingstones are like chaff to it.
29 A club seems to it but a piece of straw;(AE)
it laughs(AF) at the rattling of the lance.
30 Its undersides are jagged potsherds,
leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.(AG)
31 It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron(AH)
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.(AI)
32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
one would think the deep had white hair.
33 Nothing on earth is its equal(AJ)—
a creature without fear.
34 It looks down on all that are haughty;(AK)
it is king over all that are proud.(AL)”

41 Ecco, la tua speranza è fallita,
al solo vederlo uno stramazza.
2 Nessuno è tanto audace da osare eccitarlo
e chi mai potrà star saldo di fronte a lui?
3 Chi mai lo ha assalito e si è salvato?
Nessuno sotto tutto il cielo.
4 Non tacerò la forza delle sue membra:
in fatto di forza non ha pari.
5 Chi gli ha mai aperto sul davanti il manto di pelle
e nella sua doppia corazza chi può penetrare?
6 Le porte della sua bocca chi mai ha aperto?
Intorno ai suoi denti è il terrore!
7 Il suo dorso è a lamine di scudi,
saldate con stretto suggello;
8 l'una con l'altra si toccano,
sì che aria fra di esse non passa:
9 ognuna aderisce alla vicina,
sono compatte e non possono separarsi.
10 Il suo starnuto irradia luce
e i suoi occhi sono come le palpebre dell'aurora.
11 Dalla sua bocca partono vampate,
sprizzano scintille di fuoco.
12 Dalle sue narici esce fumo
come da caldaia, che bolle sul fuoco.
13 Il suo fiato incendia carboni
e dalla bocca gli escono fiamme.
14 Nel suo collo risiede la forza
e innanzi a lui corre la paura.
15 Le giogaie della sua carne son ben compatte,
sono ben salde su di lui, non si muovono.
16 Il suo cuore è duro come pietra,
duro come la pietra inferiore della macina.
17 Quando si alza, si spaventano i forti
e per il terrore restano smarriti.
18 La spada che lo raggiunge non vi si infigge,
né lancia, né freccia né giavellotto;
19 stima il ferro come paglia,
il bronzo come legno tarlato.
20 Non lo mette in fuga la freccia,
in pula si cambian per lui le pietre della fionda.
21 Come stoppia stima una mazza
e si fa beffe del vibrare dell'asta.
22 Al disotto ha cocci acuti
e striscia come erpice sul molle terreno.
23 Fa ribollire come pentola il gorgo,
fa del mare come un vaso da unguenti.
24 Dietro a sé produce una bianca scia
e l'abisso appare canuto.
25 Nessuno sulla terra è pari a lui,
fatto per non aver paura.
26 Lo teme ogni essere più altero;
egli è il re su tutte le fiere più superbe.
Job 41
King James Version
Job 41
King James Version
41 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
