Daily Bible GNT September 29 Verses

¹²Let me tell you about Leviathan's legs

and describe how great and strong he is.

¹³No one can tear off his outer coat

or pierce the armor he wears.

¹⁴Who can make him open his jaws,

ringed with those terrifying teeth?

¹⁵His back is made of rows of shields,

fastened together and hard as stone.

¹⁶Each one is joined so tight to the next,

not even a breath can come between.

¹⁷They all are fastened so firmly together

that nothing can ever pull them apart.

¹⁸Light flashes when he sneezes,

and his eyes glow like the rising sun.

¹⁹Flames blaze from his mouth,

and streams of sparks fly out.

²⁰Smoke comes pouring out of his nose,

like smoke from weeds burning under a pot.

²¹His breath starts fires burning;

flames leap out of his mouth.

²²His neck is so powerful

that all who meet him are terrified.

²³There is not a weak spot in his skin;

it is as hard and unyielding as iron.

²⁴His stony heart is without fear,

as unyielding and hard as a millstone.

²⁵When he rises up, even the strongest are frightened;

they are helpless with fear.

²⁶There is no sword that can wound him;

no spear or arrow or lance that can harm him.

²⁷For him iron is as flimsy as straw,

and bronze as soft as rotten wood.

²⁸There is no arrow that can make him run;

rocks thrown at him are like bits of straw.

²⁹To him a club is a piece of straw,

and he laughs when men throw spears.

³⁰The scales on his belly are like jagged pieces of pottery;

they tear up the muddy ground like a threshing sledge.

³¹He churns up the sea like boiling water

and makes it bubble like a pot of oil.

³²He leaves a shining path behind him

and turns the sea to white foam.

³³There is nothing on earth to compare with him;

he is a creature that has no fear.

³⁴He looks down on even the proudest animals;

he is king of all wild beasts.
