Job 41:31

The LORD’s Power Shown in Leviathan

30His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge. 31He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment. 32He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!
