Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 41:1 ¶ But wilt thou catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?

 41:1 ¶ Canst thou draw outºº leviathanº with an hook?º or his tongueº with a cordº [which] thou lettest down?ºº

 41:2 Or wilt thou fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp?

 41:2 Canst thou putºº an hookº into his nose?º or boreºº his jawº through with a thorn?º

 41:3 Will he address thee with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant?

 41:3 Will he make manyºº supplicationsº untoº thee? will he speakºº softº [words] untoº thee?

 41:4 And will he make a covenant with thee? and wilt thou take him for a perpetual servant?

 41:4 Will he makeºº a covenantº withº thee? wilt thou takeºº him for a servantº for ever?º

 41:5 And wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?

 41:5 Wilt thou playºº with him as [with] a bird?º or wilt thou bindºº him for thy maidens?º

 41:6 And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Zidonians{gr.Phoenicians} share him?

 41:6 Shall the companionsº make a banquetººº ofº him? shall they partºº him amongº the merchants?º

 41:7 And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither [shall they carry] his head in fishing-vessels.

 41:7 Canst thou fillºº his skinº with barbed irons?º or his headº with fishº spears?º

 41:8 But thou shalt lay thy hand upon him [once], remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done any more.

 41:8 Layºº thine handº uponº him, rememberºº the battle,º do noº more.ºº

 41:9 Hast thou not seen him? and hast thou not wondered at the things said [of him]?

 41:9 Behold,º the hopeº of him is in vain:ºº shall not [one] be cast downºº evenº atº the sightº of him?

 41:10 Dost thou not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me?

 41:10 Noneº [is so] fierceº thatº dare stir him up:ºººº whoº then is able to standºº beforeº me?

 41:11 Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine?

 41:11 Whoº hath preventedºº me, that I should repayºº [him? whatsoever is] underº the wholeº heavenº is mine.

 41:12 I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist.

 41:12 I will notº concealºº his parts,ºº norº his power,ºº nor his comelyº proportion.º

 41:13 Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate?

 41:13 Whoº can discoverºº the faceº of his garment?º [or] whoº can comeºº [to him] with his doubleº bridle?º

 41:14 Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth.

 41:14 Whoº can openºº the doorsº of his face?º his teethº [are] terribleº round about.º

 41:15 His inwards are as brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone.

 41:15 [His] scalesºº [are his] pride,º shut up togetherºº [as with] a closeº seal.º

 41:16 One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air cannot come between them.

 41:16 Oneº is so nearºº to another,º that noº airº can comeºº betweenº them.

 41:17 They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and cannot be separated.

 41:17 They are joinedºº oneº to another,º they stick together,ºº that they cannotº be sundered.ºº

 41:18 At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star.

 41:18 By his neesingsº a lightº doth shine,ºº and his eyesº [are] like the eyelidsº of the morning.º

 41:19 Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.

 41:19 Out of his mouthºº goºº burning lamps,º [and] sparksº of fireº leap out.ºº

 41:20 Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals.

 41:20 Out of his nostrilsºº goethºº smoke,º as [out] of a seethingºº potº or caldron.º

 41:21 His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

 41:21 His breathº kindlethºº coals,º and a flameº goeth outºº of his mouth.ºº

 41:22 And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs.

 41:22 In his neckº remainethºº strength,º and sorrowº is turned into joyºº beforeº him.

 41:23 The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved.

 41:23 The flakesº of his fleshº are joined together:ºº they are firmºº inº themselves; they cannotº be moved.ºº

 41:24 His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil.

 41:24 His heartº is as firmºº asº a stone;º yea, as hardºº as a pieceº of the netherº [millstone].

 41:25 And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth.

 41:25 When he raiseth upºº himself, the elimºº are afraid:ºº by reason of breakingsºº they purifyºº themselves.º

 41:26 If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate.

 41:26 The swordº of him that layethºº at him cannotº hold:ºº the spear,º the dart,º nor the habergeon.º

 41:27 For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.

 41:27 He esteemethºº ironº as straw,º [and] brassº as rottenº wood.º

 41:28 The bow of brass shall not would him, he deems a slinger as grass.

 41:28 The arrowºº cannotº make him flee:ºº slingstonesºº are turnedºº with him into stubble.º

 41:29 Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand.

 41:29 Dartsº are countedºº as stubble:º he laughethºº at the shakingº of a spear.º

 41:30 His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense [quantity of] clay.

 41:30 Sharpº stonesº [are] underº him: he spreadethºº sharp pointed thingsº uponº the mire.º

 41:31 He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment,

 41:31 He maketh the deepº to boilºº like a pot:º he makethºº the seaº like a pot of ointment.º

 41:32 and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range.

 41:32 He maketh a pathº to shineºº afterº him; [one] would thinkºº the deepº [to be] hoary.º

 41:33 There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels.

 41:33 Uponº earthº there is notº his like,º who is madeºº withoutº fear.º

 41:34 He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters.

 41:34 He beholdethººº allº highº [things]: heº [is] a kingº overº allº the childrenº of pride.º
