Job 41 — parallel

41:1

οὐχ ἑόρακας αὐτὸν οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας

^41:9 Surely hope of overcoming him is false. Is not the sight of him overwhelming?

41:2

οὐ δέδοικας ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς

^41:10 No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me?

41:3

ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ ὑπομενεῖ εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν

^41:11 Who has given to Me ? Everything under heaven is Mine.

41:4

οὐ σιωπήσομαι δι᾿ αὐτόν καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἴσον αὐτοῦ

^41:12 I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form.

41:5

τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι

^41:13 Who can strip off his outer coat? Who can approach him with a bridle?

41:6

πύλας προσώπου αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνοίξει κύκλῳ ὀδόντων αὐτοῦ φόβος

^41:14 Who can open his jaws, ringed by his fearsome teeth?

41:7

τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκειαι σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σμιρίτης λίθος

^41:15 His rows of scales are his pride, tightly sealed together.

41:8

εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν

^41:16 One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.

41:9

ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν

^41:17 They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.

41:10

ἐν πταρμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐπιφαύσκεται φέγγος οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἶδος ἑωσφόρου

^41:18 His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.

41:11

ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύονται λαμπάδες καιόμεναι καὶ διαρριπτοῦνται ἐσχάραι πυρός

^41:19 Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth!

41:12

ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων

^41:20 Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.

41:13

ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται

^41:21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.

41:14

ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια

^41:22 Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.

41:15

σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται καταχέει ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν οὐ σαλευθήσεται

^41:23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.

41:16

ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος ἕστηκεν δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος

^41:24 His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!

41:17

στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις

^41:25 When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing.

41:18

ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσιν δόρυ ἐπηρμένον καὶ θώρακα

^41:26 The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow.

41:19

ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν

^41:27 He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.

41:20

οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκειον ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον

^41:28 No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him.

41:21

ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφῦραι καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου

^41:29 A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound .

41:22

ἡ στρωμνὴ αὐτοῦ ὀβελίσκοι ὀξεῖς πᾶς δὲ χρυσὸς θαλάσσης ὑπ᾿ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ πηλὸς ἀμύθητος

^41:30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge.

41:23

ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον

^41:31 He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment.

41:24

τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον

^41:32 He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!

41:25

οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου

^41:33 Nothing on earth is his equal—a creature devoid of fear!

41:26

πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν

^41:34 He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.”
