JOB 41:18-34
18His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn. 19Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth! 20Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds. 21His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth. 22Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him. 23The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable. 24His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone! 25When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing. 26The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow. 27He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood. 28No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him. 29A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound of the lance. 30His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge. 31He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment. 32He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair! 33Nothing on earth is his equal— a creature devoid of fear! 34He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.”

1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” 2Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem is built up as a city united together, 4where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David. 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper. 7May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.” 8For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” 9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
