This is Chapter 41 of Job. Verse 33 says something unique! And this dragon is responsable for the suffering of Job, so here chapter has double meaning. According to verse 33 this saying was description of Satan! Because dragon is satan.(revelation12:9)
33 ‘Nothing else on the earth is quite like him…
He was made to be mocked by My angels.
Chapter 41
NOTE: It is our studied opinion that many of the following verses have been corrupted to some extent in both the Hebrew and Greek texts, since much of what follows is disjointed and unclear. We feel that part of the reason for this is due to the fact that those who sang this song, those who copied it, and those who translated it simply didn’t understand its cryptic message… that the ‘beast’ or ‘dragon’ being spoken of in these and in the previous verses was the evil spirit who was bringing these woes upon Job.
1 ‘Can you lead this dragon around with a hook;
Can you put a halter ‘round his nose?
2 Will you put a hook though his nose as a clasp,
And bore a hole in his lip?
3 ‘Will he speak and beg you in an earnest, soft way…
4 Will he make an agreement with you…
Will you keep him as your servant through the age?
5 ‘Will you play with him like a bird…
Would you cage him like a sparrow for a child?
6 Wouldn’t you rather feed him to the nations…
For Phoenicians, carve him as [steaks]?
7 ‘If all that floats were assembled,
There’s no way they could carry his hide or his tail,
Nor could fishermen’s boats bear his head.
8 ‘Could you lay your hands out upon him,
Then contemplate the war in his flesh,
And let it no longer take place?
9 ‘[It is true] that you cannot see him.
But hasn’t the one speaking ever wondered…
10 Aren’t you in awe of this thing I’ve prepared?
‘But, who can really stand and oppose Me…
11 Yes, who can resist Me and win,
Since all under heaven is Mine?
12 ‘So I won’t remain silent for his sake;
For the word of My power to show mercy
Is greater than anything he has to say.
13 ‘Who will uncover the front of his clothes
And enter the fold of his chest plate?
14 Who will open the gates of his face,
And see that in his teeth, there is fear?
15 ‘His insides are like shields of brass,
And his sinews are like emery stone.
16 Each of them cleave tightly together,
And through them, no wind [can blow]…
17 They are close like a man and his brother,
And they cannot be parted.
18 ‘His sneezing brings about brightness,
And his eyes are like morning stars.
19 From his mouth come lamps that are burning
Like the scattered coals of a fire.
20 ‘From his nostrils come the smoke of a furnace,
Burning with the fire of live coals.
21 For his soul is much like live coals,
And flames shoot out of his mouth.
22 ‘Within his neck, there is power,
And before him, there is much destruction.
23 The flesh of his body cleaves tightly,
So he’s never bothered by rain.
24 ‘His heart is fixed like a stone…
He stands as an anvil that cannot be bent.
25 When he turns, he frightens the four-footed beasts,
As well as those [flying over] the ground.
26 ‘With lances, he cannot be harmed,
Nor does he fear armor or spears.
27 He views iron weapons as straw,
And brass ones, just like rotting wood.
28 ‘By bows of brass, he cannot be pierced,
And he views [stone] slingers as grass.
29 He thinks of hammers as stubble,
And he laughs at the quaking of those who bear fire.
30 ‘His bed is strewn with sharp needles;
And all the gold in the seas,
Under him, are as coals on the grates,
And like just so much mud.
31 ‘He breaks from the abyss as though a brass pot;
He thinks of the seas as his own ointment jar,
32 And the dephts of Tartarus as his captive.
For to him, the abyss is just a promenade.
33 ‘Nothing else on the earth is quite like him…
He was made to be mocked by My angels.
34 ‘He can see all things that are lofty,
And he’s the ruler over all in the waters.’
