7 His strong shields are magnificence; they are sealed as if with a firm seal;

8 One touches one another closely, so that the air does not pass between them;

9 One lies tightly with the other, interlocked and do not move apart.

10 From his sneezing there is light; his eyes are like the eyelashes of the dawn;

11 Out of his mouth come flames, and sparks of fire leap forth;

12 Smoke comes out of his nostrils, as out of a boiling pot or a cauldron.

13 His breath kindles the coals, and out of his mouth comes a flame.

14 On his neck dwelleth power, and terror runs before him.

15 The fleshy parts of his body are firmly knit together, they will not tremble.

16 His heart is hard as a stone, and hard as a millstone.

17 When he rises, the strong men are in fear, completely lost with terror.

18 The sword that toucheth him shall not stand, neither spear, nor javelin, nor armor.

19 He counts iron for straw, and copper for rotten wood.

20 The daughter of the bow shall not put him to flight; the slingstones turn into hymen for him.

21 A mace is reckoned with him as a straw; he laughs at the whistle of the dart.

22 Under him are sharp stones, and he lies on sharp stones in the mud.

23 He boileth the deep as a cauldron, and maketh the sea into boiling ointment;

24 He leaves behind him a shining path; The abyss seems gray.

25 There is none like him on earth; he was created fearless;

26 He looks boldly upon all that is lofty; He is king over all the sons of pride.

Chapter 42

1 And Job answered the Lord, saying,

2 I know that Thou canst do all things, and that Thy purpose cannot be stopped.

3 Who is this that darkens Providence, understanding nothing? "Well, I talked about things that I did not understand, about things that were wonderful to me, which I did not know.

4 Hearken, I cried, and I will speak, and what I will ask you, explain to me.

5 I have heard of you with the ear of my ear; but now my eyes see Thee;

6 Therefore I deny and repent in dust and ashes.

7 And it came to pass, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, 'My wrath burneth against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken of me as faithfully as my servant Job.'
