41:6. His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another. 41:7. One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them: 41:8. They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated. 41:9. His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning. 41:10. Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire. 41:11. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling. 41:12. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth. 41:13. In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face. 41:14. The members of his flesh cleave one to another: he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place. 41:15. His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil, 41:16. When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves. Angels... Elim, Hebrew: which signifies here, the mighty, the most valiant, shall fear this monstrous fish, and in their fear shall seek to be purified. 41:17. When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate. 41:18. For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 41:19. The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble. 41:20. As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear. 41:21. The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire. Under him... He shall not value the beams of the sun; and gold to him shall be like mire. 41:22. He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil. 41:23. A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old. The deep as growing old... Growing hoary, as it were with the froth which he leaves behind him. 41:24. There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one, 41:25. He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride. He is king, etc... He is superior in strength to all that are great and strong amongst living creatures: mystically it is understood of the devil, who is king over all the proud. Job Chapter 42 Job submits himself. God pronounces in his favour. Job offers sacrifice for his friends. He is blessed with riches and children, and dies happily, 42:1. Then Job answered the Lord, and said: 42:2. I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee. 42:3. Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge. 42:4. Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. 42:5. With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee. 42:6. Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.
