Douai-Rheims	King James Bible
¹ I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel : for who can resist my countenance?	¹ Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
² Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.	² Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
³ I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.	³ Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
⁴ Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?	⁴ Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
⁵ Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.	⁵ Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
⁶ His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.	⁶ Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
⁷ One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them :	⁷ Canst thou fill his skin with barbed iron? or his head with fish spears?
⁸ They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.	⁸ Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
⁹ His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.	⁹ Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
¹⁰ Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.	¹⁰ None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
¹¹ Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.	¹¹ Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
¹² His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.	¹² I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
¹³ In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.	¹³ Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
¹⁴ The members of his flesh cleave one to another : he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.	¹⁴ Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
¹⁵ His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.	¹⁵ His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
¹⁶ When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.	¹⁶ One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
¹⁷ When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.	¹⁷ They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
¹⁸ For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.	¹⁸ By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
¹⁹ The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.	¹⁹ Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
²⁰ As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.	²⁰ Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
²¹ The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.	²¹ His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
²² He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.	²² In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
²³ A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.	²³ The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
²⁴ There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.	²⁴ His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
²⁵ He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.	²⁵ When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
	²⁶ The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
	²⁷ He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
	²⁸ The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
	²⁹ Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
	³⁰ Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
	³¹ He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
	³² He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
	³³ Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
	³⁴ He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
