Genesis 6:4

4The Nephilim ▼

▼Or giants

were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

Job 41

▼Ch 40:25 in Hebrew

“Can you draw out ^cLeviathan ▼

▼A large sea animal, exact identity unknown

with a fishhook
or press down his tongue with a cord?
2Can you put ^ea rope in his nose
or pierce his jaw with ^fa hook?
3Will he make many pleas to you?
Will he speak to you soft words?
4Will he make a covenant with you
to take him for ^gyour servant forever?
5Will you play with him as with a bird,
or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
6Will traders bargain over him?
Will they divide him up among the merchants?
7Can you fill his skin with harpoons
or his head with fishing spears?
8Lay your hands on him;
remember the battle—you will not do it again!

▼Ch 41:1 in Hebrew

Behold, the hope of a man is false;
he is laid low even at the sight of him.
10No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up.
Who then is he who can stand before me?
11 ⁱWho has first given to me, that I should repay him?
^jWhatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.
13Who can strip off his outer garment?
Who would come near him with a bridle?
14Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth is terror.
15His back is made of ▼

▼Or  His pride is in his

rows of shields,
shut up closely as with a seal.
16One is so near to another
that no air can come between them.
17They are ^ljoined one to another;
they clasp each other and cannot be separated.
18His sneezings flash forth light,
and his eyes are like ^mthe eyelids of the dawn.
19Out of his mouth go flaming torches;
sparks of fire leap forth.
20Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke,
as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21His breath ⁿkindles coals,
and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
22In his neck abides strength,
and terror dances before him.
23The folds of his flesh ^ostick together,
firmly cast on him and immovable.
24His heart is hard as a stone,
hard as the lower millstone.
25When he raises himself up, the mighty ▼

▼Or gods

are afraid;
at the crashing they are beside themselves.
26Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail,
nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.
27He counts iron as straw,
and bronze as rotten wood.
28The arrow cannot make him flee;
for him ,sling stones are turned to stubble.
29Clubs are counted as stubble;
he laughs at the rattle of javelins.
30His underparts are like sharp ^qpotsherds;
he spreads himself like ^ra threshing sledge on the mire.
31He makes the deep boil like a pot;
he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32Behind him he leaves a shining wake;
one would think the deep to be white-haired.
33 ^sOn earth there is not his like,
a creature without fear.
34He sees everything that is high;
he is king over all the ^tsons of pride.”

Psalms 104:25-26

25Here is the sea, great and wide,
^uwhich teems with creatures innumerable,
living things both small and great.
26There go the ships,
and ^vLeviathan, which you formed to ^wplay in it. ▼

▼Or  you formed to play with

Ezekiel 29:3-5

3speak, and say, Thus says the Lord God:

^y“Behold, I am against you,
Pharaoh king of Egypt,
^zthe great dragon that lies
in the midst of his streams,
^aathat says, ‘My Nile is my own;
I made it for myself.’
4I will ^abput hooks in your jaws,
and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales;
and I will draw you up out of the midst of your streams,
with all the fish of your streams
that stick to your scales.
5 ^acAnd I will cast you out into the wilderness,
you and all the fish of your streams;
you shall fall ^adon the open field,
and ^aenot be brought together or gathered.
To the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens
^afI give you as food.
