Job 41

Lukisan tentang buaya 41:1 (#40-#20) "Dapatkah engkau menarik buaya dengan kail, atau mengimpit lidahnya dengan tali? 41:2 (#40-#21) Dapatkah engkau mengenakan tali rotan pada hidungnya, mencocok rahangnya dengan kaitan? 41:3 (#40-#22) Mungkinkah ia mengajukan banyak permohonan belas kasihan kepadamu, atau berbicara dengan lemah lembut kepadamu? 41:4 (#40-#23) Mungkinkah ia mengikat perjanjian dengan engkau, sehingga engkau mengambil dia menjadi hamba untuk selama-lamanya? 41:5 (#40-#24) Dapatkah engkau bermain-main dengan dia seperti dengan burung, dan mengikat dia untuk anak-anakmu perempuan? 41:6 (#40-#25) Mungkinkah kawan-kawan nelayan memperdagangkan dia, atau membagi-bagikan dia di antara pedagang-pedagang? 41:7 (#40-#26) Dapatkah engkau menusuki kulitnya dengan serampang, dan kepalanya dengan tempuling? 41:8 (#40-#27) Letakkan tanganmu ke atasnya! Ingatlah pertarungannya! -- Engkau takkan melakukannya lagi! 41:9 (#40-#28) Sesungguhnya, harapanmu hampa! Baru saja melihat dia, orang sudah terbanting. 41:10 (#41-#1) Orang yang nekatpun takkan berani membangkitkan marahnya. Siapakah yang dapat bertahan di hadapan Aku? 41:11 (#41-#2) Siapakah yang menghadapi Aku, yang Kubiarkan tetap selamat? Apa yang ada di seluruh kolong langit, adalah kepunyaan-Ku. 41:12 (#41-#3) Aku tidak akan berdiam diri tentang anggota-anggota badannya, tentang keperkasaannya dan perawakannya yang tampan. 41:13 (#41-#4) Siapakah dapat menyingkapkan pakaian luarnya? Baju zirahnya yang berlapis dua, siapakah dapat menembusnya? 41:14 (#41-#5) Siapa dapat membuka pintu moncongnya? Di sekeliling giginya ada kengerian. 41:15 (#41-#6) Punggungnya adalah perisai-perisai yang bersusun, terlekat rapat seperti meterai. 41:16 (#41-#7) Rapat hubungannya yang satu dengan yang lain, sehingga angin tidak dapat masuk; 41:17 (#41-#8) yang satu melekat pada yang lain, bertautan tak terceraikan lagi. 41:18 (#41-#9) Bersinnya menyinarkan cahaya, matanya laksana merekahnya fajar. 41:19 (#41-#10) Dari dalam mulutnya keluar suluh, dan berpancaran bunga api. 41:20 (#41-#11) Dari dalam lubang hidungnya mengepul uap bagaikan dari dalam belanga yang mendidih dan menggelegak isinya. 41:21 (#41-#12) Nafasnya menyalakan bara, dan nyala api keluar dari dalam mulutnya. 41:22 (#41-#13) Di dalam tengkuknya ada kekuatan; ketakutan berlompatan di hadapannya. 41:23 (#41-#14) Daging gelambirnya berlekatan, melekat padanya, tidak tergerak. 41:24 (#41-#15) Hatinya keras seperti batu, keras seperti batu kilangan bawah. 41:25 (#41-#16) Bila ia bangkit, maka semua yang berkuasa menjadi gentar, menjadi bingung karena ketakutan. 41:26 (#41-#17) Bila ia diserang dengan pedang, ia tidak mempan, demikian juga dengan tombak, seligi atau lembing. 41:27 (#41-#18) Besi dirasanya seperti jerami, tembaga seperti kayu lapuk. 41:28 (#41-#19) Anak panah tidak dapat menghalau dia, batu umban seolah-olah berubah padanya menjadi jerami. 41:29 (#41-#20) Gada dianggapnya jerami dan ia menertawakan desingan lembing. 41:30 (#41-#21) Pada bagian bawahnya ada tembikar yang runcing; ia membujur di atas lumpur seperti pengeretan pengirik. 41:31 (#41-#22) Lubuk dibuatnya berbual-bual seperti periuk, laut dijadikannya tempat memasak campuran rempah-rempah. 41:32 (#41-#23) Ia meninggalkan jejak yang bercahaya, sehingga samudera raya disangka orang rambut putih. 41:33 (#41-#24) Tidak ada taranya di atas bumi; itulah makhluk yang tidak mengenal takut. 41:34 (#41-#25) Segala yang tinggi takut kepadanya; ia adalah raja atas segala binatang yang ganas."

41:1 "Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or [snare] his tongue with a line [which] you lower?
41:2 Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook?
41:3 Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you?
41:4 Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever?
41:5 Will you play with him as [with] a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens?
41:6 Will [your] companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants?
41:7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?
41:8 Lay your hand on him; Remember the battleNever do it again!
41:9 Indeed, [any] hope of [overcoming] him is false; Shall [one not] be overwhelmed at the sight of him?
41:10 No one [is so] fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me?
41:11 Who has preceded Me, that I should pay [him]? Everything under heaven is Mine.
41:12 "I will not conceal his limbs, His mighty power, or his graceful proportions.
41:13 Who can remove his outer coat? Who can approach [him] with a double bridle?
41:14 Who can open the doors of his face, [With] his terrible teeth all around?
41:15 [His] rows of scales are [his] pride, Shut up tightly [as with] a seal;
41:16 One is so near another That no air can come between them;
41:17 They are joined one to another, They stick together and cannot be parted.
41:18 His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning.
41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out.
41:20 Smoke goes out of his nostrils, As [from] a boiling pot and burning rushes.
41:21 His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes out of his mouth.
41:22 Strength dwells in his neck, And sorrow dances before him.
41:23 The folds of his flesh are joined together; They are firm on him and cannot be moved.
41:24 His heart is as hard as stone, Even as hard as the lower [millstone].
41:25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; Because of his crashings they are beside themselves.
41:26 [Though] the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; Nor does spear, dart, or javelin.
41:27 He regards iron as straw, [And] bronze as rotten wood.
41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones become like stubble to him.
41:29 Darts are regarded as straw; He laughs at the threat of javelins.
41:30 His undersides [are] like sharp potsherds; He spreads pointed [marks] in the mire.
41:31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
41:32 He leaves a shining wake behind him; [One] would think the deep had white hair.
41:33 On earth there is nothing like him, Which is made without fear.
41:34 He beholds every high [thing]; He [is] king over all the children of pride."
