Job 7:12–15

²Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

³Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.

^3*Thus saith the LORD God; I will therefore spread out my net ouer thee, with a company of many people, and they shall bring thee vp in my net.

⁶Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

⁷When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁸Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

⁹When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

¹⁰And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

¹¹And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

⁶Wherepuon are the ^†foundations thereof ^†fastened? or who layd the corner stone thereof?

⁷When the morning starres sang together, and all the sonnes of God shouted for ioy.

^8*Or who shut vp the sea with doores, when it brake foorth as if it had issued out of the wombe?

⁹When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thicke darknesse a swadling band for it,

¹⁰And ^‖brake vp for it my decreed place, and set barres and doores,

¹¹And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and heere shall ^†thy proud waues be stayed.

¹⁷What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

^17*What is man, that thou shouldest magnifie him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart vpon him?

⁷He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

⁷He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: hee hath made my chaine heauie.

¹CANST thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

²Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

³Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

⁴Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

⁵Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

⁶Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

⁷Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

⁸Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

⁹Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

¹⁰None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

¹¹Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

¹²I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

¹³Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

¹⁴Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

¹⁵His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

¹⁶One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

¹⁷They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

¹⁸By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

¹⁹Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

²⁰Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

²¹His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

²²In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

²³The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

²⁴His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

²⁵When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

²⁶The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

²⁷He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

²⁸The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

²⁹Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

³⁰Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

³¹He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

³²He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

³³Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

³⁴He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

¹¶ Canst thou draw out ^†Leuiathan with an hooke? or his tongue with a corde ^† which thou lettest downe?

²Canst thou put an hooke into his nose? or bore his iawe through with a thorne?

³Will he make many supplications vnto thee? will he speake soft words vnto thee?

⁴Will he make a couenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a seruant for euer?

⁵Wilt thou play with him as with a birde? wilt thou binde him for thy maydens?

⁶Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

⁷Canst thou fill his skinne with barbed irons? or his head with fishspeares?

⁸Lay thine hand vpon him, remember the battell: doe no more.

⁹Behold, the hope of him is in vaine: shall not one be cast downe euen at the sight of him?

¹⁰None is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: who then is able to stand before me?

^11*Who hath preuented me that I should repay him? whatsoeuer is vnder the whole heauen, is mine.

¹²I will not conceale his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

¹³Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who can come to him, ^‖with his double bridle?

¹⁴Who can open the doores of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

¹⁵ His ^†scales are his pride, shut vp together as with a close seale.

¹⁶One is so neere to another, that no ayre can come betweene them.

¹⁷They are ioyned one to another, they sticke together, that they cannot be sundred.

¹⁸By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eye-liddes of the morning.

¹⁹Out of his mouth goe burning lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out.

²⁰Out of his nostrels goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

²¹His breath kindleth coales, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

²²In his necke remaineth strength, and ^†sorrowe is turned into ioy before him.

^23†The flakes of his flesh are ioyned together: they are firme in themselues, they cannot be moued.

²⁴His heart is as firme as a stone, yea as hard as a peece of the nether mil-stone.

²⁵When he rayseth vp himselfe, the mightie are afraid: by reason of breakings they purifie themselues.

²⁶The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the speare, the dart, nor the ^‖habergeon.

²⁷He esteemeth iron as straw, and brasse as rotten wood.

²⁸The arrow cannot make him flee: sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.

²⁹Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a speare.

^30†Sharpe stones are vnder him: he spreadeth sharpe pointed things vpon the mire.

³¹He maketh the deepe to boyle like a pot: hee maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment.

³²Hee maketh a path to shine after him; one would thinke the deepe to bee hoarie.

³³Upon earth there is not his like: ^‖who is made without feare.

³⁴He beholdeth all high things: he is a king ouer all the children of pride.

⁶I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

^6‖I am weary with my groning, all the night make I my bed to swim: I water my couch with my teares.

⁴Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

⁴Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speake.

³So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

⁴When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

³So am I made to possesse moneths of vanitie, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

⁴When I lie downe, I say, When shall I arise, and the ^†night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro, vnto the dawning of the day.

²⁷If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

²⁸I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

²⁷If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leaue off my heauinesse, and comfort my selfe.

²⁸I am afraid of all my sorrowes, I know that thou wilt not holde me innocent.
