![]() Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He maketh a path to shine after him one would think the deep to be hoary. He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. ![]() His heart is as firm as a stone yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves they cannot be moved. In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 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.

Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.Book of Job 3:8 "Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning."
