They rule over the birds in the sky and over the fish in the ocean. They rule over everything that swims in the oceans.

空中的鸟、海里的鱼及其他水族。

空中的飞鸟、海里的鱼，和海里游行的水族。

天空的鸟、海里的鱼，以及所有游在海中之路的。

空中的鳥、海裡的魚及其他水族。

空中的飛鳥、海裡的魚，和海裡游行的水族。

空中的鳥和海裏的魚，凡經行海道的，都服於他腳下。

天空的鳥、海裡的魚，以及所有游在海中之路的。

天上飛鳥、水中潛鱗、凡游泳於海者兮、

飛鳥潛鱗、海中百物、無不歸其統轄。

空中鳥、海中魚、並游泳於海中之百物、

空中有飛鳥。地上有牛羊。

the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas.

The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.

The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,[ and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea and everything that moves through the currents of the seas.

the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

God said,“ Let the seas be filled with living things. Let birds fly above the earth across the huge space of the sky.”So God created the great sea creatures. He created every kind of living thing that fills the seas and moves about in them. He created every kind of bird that flies. And God saw that it was good.God blessed them. He said,“ Have little ones so that there will be many of you. Fill the water in the seas. Let there be more and more birds on the earth.”There was evening, and there was morning. It was day five.God said,“ Let the land produce every kind of living creature. Let there be livestock, and creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals.” And that’s exactly what happened.God made every kind of wild animal. He made every kind of livestock. He made every kind of creature that moves along the ground. And God saw that it was good.

Praise him, all you wild animals and cattle. Praise him, you small creatures and flying birds.

“ Do you hunt for food for mother lions? Do you satisfy the hunger of their cubs?Some of them lie low in their dens. Others lie waiting in the bushes.Who provides food for ravens when their babies cry out to me? They wander around because they do not have anything to eat.“ Job, do you know when mountain goats have their babies? Do you watch when female deer give birth?Do you count the months until the animals have their babies? Do you know the time when they give birth?They bend their back legs and have their babies. Then their labor pains stop.Their little ones grow strong and healthy in the wild. They leave and do not come home again.“ Who let the wild donkeys go free? Who untied their ropes?I gave them the dry and empty land as their home. I gave them salt flats to live in.They laugh at all the noise in town. They do not hear the shouts of the donkey drivers.They wander over the hills to look for grass. They search for anything green to eat.“ Job, will wild oxen agree to serve you? Will they stay by your feed box at night?Can you keep them in straight rows with harnesses? Will they plow the valleys behind you?Will you depend on them for their great strength? Will you let them do your heavy work?Can you trust them to haul in your grain? Will they bring it to your threshing floor?“ The wings of ostriches flap with joy. But they can’t compare with the wings and feathers of storks.Ostriches lay their eggs on the ground. They let them get warm in the sand.They do not know that something might step on them. A wild animal might walk all over them.Ostriches are mean to their little ones. They treat them as if they did not belong to them. They do not care that their work was useless.I did not provide ostriches with wisdom. I did not give them good sense.But when they spread their feathers to run, they laugh at a horse and its rider.“ Job, do you give horses their strength? Do you put flowing manes on their necks?Do you make them jump like locusts? They terrify others with their proud snorting.They paw the ground wildly. They are filled with joy. They charge at their enemies.They laugh at fear. They are not afraid of anything. They do not run away from swords.Many arrows rattle at their sides. Flashing spears and javelins are also there.They are so excited that they race over the ground. They can’t stand still when trumpets are blown.When they hear the trumpets they snort,‘ Aha!’ They catch the smells of battle far away. They hear the shouts of commanders and the battle cries.“ Job, are you wise enough to teach hawks where to fly? They spread their wings and fly toward the south.Do you command eagles to fly so high? They build their nests as high as they can.They live on cliffs and stay there at night. High up on the rocks they think they are safe.From there they look for their food. They can see it from far away.Their little ones like to eat blood. Eagles gather where they see dead bodies.”

“ Look at Behemoth. It is a huge animal. I made both of you. It eats grass like an ox.Look at the strength it has in its hips! What power it has in the muscles of its stomach!Its tail sways back and forth like a cedar tree. The tendons of its thighs are close together.Its bones are like tubes made out of bronze. Its legs are like rods made out of iron.It ranks first among my works. I made it. I can approach it with my sword.The hills produce food for it. All the other wild animals play near it.It lies under lotus plants. It hides in tall grass in the swamps.The lotus plants hide it in their shade. Poplar trees near streams surround it.It is not afraid when the river roars. It is secure even when the Jordan River rushes against its mouth.Can anyone capture it by its eyes? Can anyone trap it and poke a hole through its nose?“ Job, can you pull Leviathan out of the sea with a fishhook? Can you tie down its tongue with a rope?Can you put a rope through its nose? Can you stick a hook through its jaw?Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak gently to you?Will it make an agreement with you? Can you make it your slave for life?Can you make a pet out of it like a bird? Can you put it on a leash for the young women in your house?Will traders offer you something for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants?Can you fill its body with harpoons? Can you throw fishing spears into its head?If you touch it, it will fight you. Then you will remember never to touch it again!No one can possibly control Leviathan. Just looking at it will terrify you.No one dares to wake it up. So who can possibly stand up to me?Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything on earth belongs to me.“ Now I will speak about the Leviathan’s legs. I will talk about its strength and its graceful body.Who can strip off its outer coat? Who would try to pierce its double coat of armor?Who dares to open its jaws? Its mouth is filled with terrifying teeth.Its back has rows of shields that are close together.Each one is so close to the next one that not even air can pass between them.They are joined tightly to one another. They stick together and can’t be forced apart.Leviathan’s snorting throws out flashes of light. Its eyes shine like the first light of day.Flames spray out of its mouth. Sparks of fire shoot out.Smoke pours out of its nose. It is like smoke from a boiling pot over burning grass.Its breath sets coals on fire. Flames fly out of its mouth.Its neck is very strong. People run to get out of its way.Its rolls of fat are close together. They are firm and can’t be moved.Its chest is as hard as rock. It is as hard as a lower millstone.When Leviathan rises up, even mighty people are terrified. They run away when it moves around wildly.A sword that strikes it has no effect. Neither does a spear or dart or javelin.It treats iron as if it were straw. It crushes bronze as if it were rotten wood.Arrows do not make it run away. Stones that are thrown from slings are like straw hitting it.A club seems like a piece of straw to it. It laughs when it hears a javelin rattling.Its undersides are like broken pieces of pottery. It leaves a trail in the mud like a threshing sled.It makes the ocean churn like a boiling pot. It stirs up the sea like perfume someone is making.It leaves a shiny trail behind it. You would think the ocean had white hair.Nothing on earth is equal to Leviathan. That creature is not afraid of anything.It looks down on proud people. It rules over all those who are proud.”
