Job 41:32
30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge.
31 He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment.
He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!
33 Nothing on earth is his equal— a creature devoid of fear!
34 He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
