JOB 41:9 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

MSG ^(1-11)“Or can you pull in the sea beast, Leviathan, with a fly rod
  and stuff him in your creel?
Can you lasso him with a rope,
  or snag him with an anchor?
Will he beg you over and over for mercy,
  or flatter you with flowery speech?
Will he apply for a job with you
  to run errands and serve you the rest of your life?
Will you play with him as if he were a pet goldfish?
  Will you make him the mascot of the neighborhood children?
Will you put him on display in the market
  and have shoppers haggle over the price?
Could you shoot him full of arrows like a pin cushion,
  or drive harpoons into his huge head?
If you so much as lay a hand on him,
  you won’t live to tell the story.
What hope would you have with such a creature?
  Why, one look at him would do you in!
If you can’t hold your own against his glowering visage,
  how, then, do you expect to stand up to me?
Who could confront me and get by with it?
  I’m in charge of all this—I run this universe!
