Chap. XLI.
Leuiathan is further described by the peculiar partes of his bodie, and terrible
composition of al his members.
1 Not as note cruel wil I raise him: for who can resist my contenance?
2 Who hath geuen me before, that I may render
vnto him? Al thinges that are vnder heauen be myne.
3 I
wil not spare him, and his mightie wordes, and framed to beseech.
4 Who shal reuele the face of his garment: and who
shal enter into the middes of his mouth:
5 Who shal open the
gate of his countenance? dreade is round about his teeth.
6 His bodie as shildes that are cast, compact with skales fast
cleauing together.
7 One is ioyned to an other, and not so
much as anie ayre entereth betwen them:
8 One shal sticke
to another, & holding eche other, they shal not be seperated.
9 His sneesing is as the shining of fire, & his eies as the twinklings
of the morning.
10 Out of his mouth procede lampes,
as it were torches of lighted fire.
11 Out of his nosthrels procedeth
smoke, as it were of a pot heated and boyling.
12 His
breath maketh coales to burne, & a flame cometh fotth out
of his mouth.
13 In his necke shal strength abide, & needines
goeth before his face.
14 The members of his flesh cleaue together
one to an other: note he shal send lightnings against him,
and he shal not be caried to an other place.
15 His hart shal be
-- --
hardened as a stone, and shal be stifly compact as the smithes
stithie.
16 When he shal be taken away, the note Angels shal feare,
and being feared shal be purged.
17 When the sword shal apprehend
him, neither speare, nor brestplate shal be able to
abide.
18 For he shal esteme yron as chaffe, and brasse, as rotten
wood.
19 The bowman shal not put him to flight, the
stones of the sling, to him are turned into stubble.
20 As stubble
wil he esteme the hammer, and he wil laugh him to skorne
that shaketh the speare.
21 The beames of the sunne shal be
vnder him, and he shal straw gold vnder him as durt.
22 He shal
make the deepe sea to boyle as a pot, and shal put it as when
ointmentes boyle.
23 A path shal shine after him, he shal esteme
the depth as waxing old.
24 There is no power vpon the earth,
that may be compared with him, who is made to feare no man.
25 He seeth euerie high thing, he is note king ouer al the children
of pryde.
