| # Chapter 41
#### 1 | I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel : for who can resist my countenance?
#### 2 | Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.
#### 3 | I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.
#### 4 | Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?
#### 5 | Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
#### 6 | His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.
#### 7 | One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them :
#### 8 | They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.
#### 9 | His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.
#### 10 | Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.
#### 11 | Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.
#### 12 | His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.
#### 13 | In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.
#### 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.
#### 15 | His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.
#### 16 | When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.
#### 17 | When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.
#### 18 | For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
#### 19 | The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.
#### 20 | As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.
#### 21 | The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.
#### 22 | He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.
#### 23 | A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.
#### 24 | There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.
#### 25 | He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.
