Masoretic-derived · highlighted where altered
1Have you not seen him? and have you not wondered at the things said [of him]? Do you not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me?
1None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
2Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine?
2Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
3I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist.
3I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
4Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate?
4Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
5Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth .
5Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
6His inwards are as brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone.
6His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
7One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air can’t come between them.
7One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
8They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined , and can’t be separated.
8They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
9At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star.
9By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
10Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.
10Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
11Out of his nostrils proceeds smokeof a furnace burning with fire of coals.
11Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
12His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
12His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
13And power is lodged in his neck , before him destruction runs.
13In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
14The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved.
14The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
15His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil.
15His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
16And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth.
16When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
17If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate.
17The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
18For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.
18He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
19The bow of brass shall not wound him, he deems a slinger as grass.
19The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
20Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand.
20Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
21His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense [quantity of] clay.
21Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
22He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment,
22He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
23and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range.
23He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
24There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels.
24Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
25He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters.
25He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
