13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle ?

14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

15 His scales hare his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. 18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his elephant, eyes are like the eylids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

33 Upon earth there is not his like, who mis made without fear.

34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had ' fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
