Wisdom & Truth Verses
Every verse of God's eternal Word carries wisdom and truth. A home for all the rich teachings not captured elsewhere.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. {He...: or, He setteth up}
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
The shady trees cover him {with} their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
He taketh it with his eyes: {his} nose pierceth through snares. {He...: or, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?}
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord {which} thou lettest down? {leviathan: probably an extinct animal of some kind} {which...: Heb. which thou drownest?}
Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Wilt thou play with him as {with} a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
None {is so} fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
Who hath prevented me, that I should repay {him? whatsoever is} under the whole heaven is mine.
