Canst thou draw out{H4900} leviathan{H3882} with a fishhook?{H2443} Or press down his tongue{H3956} with a cord?{H2256}

Canst thou put{H7760} a rope{H100} into his nose?{H639} Or pierce{H5344} his jaw{H3895} through with a hook?{H2336}

Will he make many{H7235} supplications{H8469} unto thee? Or will he speak{H1696} soft{H7390} words unto thee?

Will he make{H3772} a covenant{H1285} with thee, That thou shouldest take{H3947} him for a servant{H5650} for ever?{H5769}

Wilt thou play{H7832} with him as with a bird?{H6833} Or wilt thou bind{H7194} him for thy maidens?{H5291}

Will the bands{H2271} [of fishermen] make traffic{H3739} of him? Will they part{H2673} him among the merchants?{H3669}

Canst thou fill{H4390} his skin{H5785} with barbed irons,{H7905} Or his head{H7218} with fish - spears?

Lay{H7760} thy hand{H3709} upon him; Remember{H2142} the battle,{H4421} and do so no more.{H3254}

Behold, the hope{H8431} of him is in vain:{H3576} Will not one be cast down{H2904} even at the sight{H4758} of him?

None is so fierce{H393} that he dare stir him up;{H5782} Who then is he that can stand{H3320} before{H6440} me?

Who hath first given{H6923} unto me, that I should repay{H7999} him? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven{H8064} is mine.

I will not keep silence concerning{H2790} his limbs,{H907} Nor his mighty strength,{H1369} nor his goodly{H2433} frame.{H6187}

Who can strip{H1540} off his outer{H6440} garment?{H3830} Who shall come{H935} within{H3718} his jaws?{H7448}

Who can open{H6605} the doors{H1817} of his face?{H6440} Round about{H5439} his teeth{H8127} is terror.{H367}

[ His] strong scales{H4043} are [his] pride,{H1346} Shut up together{H5462} [as with] a close{H6862} seal.{H2368}

One{H259} is so near{H5066} to another,{H259} That no air{H7307} can come{H935} between them.

They are joined{H1692} one{H376} to another;{H251} They stick together,{H3920} so that they cannot be sundered.{H6504}

His sneezings{H5846} flash{H1984} forth light,{H216} And his eyes{H5869} are like the eyelids{H6079} of the morning.{H7837}

Out of his mouth{H6310} go{H1980} burning torches,{H3940} And sparks{H3590} of fire{H784} leap forth.{H4422}

Out of his nostrils{H5156} a smoke{H6227} goeth,{H3318} As of a boiling{H5301} pot{H1731} and [burning]{H100} rushes.

His breath{H5315} kindleth{H3857} coals,{H1513} And a flame{H3851} goeth forth{H3318} from his mouth.{H6310}

In his neck{H6677} abideth{H3885} strength,{H5797} And terror{H1670} danceth{H1750} before{H6440} him.

The flakes{H4651} of his flesh{H1320} are joined together:{H1692} They are firm{H3332} upon him; They cannot be moved.{H4131}

His heart{H3820} is as firm{H3332} as a stone;{H68} Yea, firm{H3332} as the nether{H8482} millstone.{H6400}

When he raiseth himself up,{H7613} the mighty{H352} are afraid:{H1481} By reason of consternation{H7667} they are beside{H2398} themselves.

If one lay{H5381} at him with the sword,{H2719} it cannot avail;{H6965} Nor the spear,{H2595} the dart,{H4551} nor the pointed shaft.{H8302}

He counteth{H2803} iron{H1270} as straw,{H8401} [And] brass{H5154} as rotten{H7539} wood.{H6086}

The arrow{H1121} cannot make him flee:{H1272} Sling-stones{H68} are turned{H2015} with him into stubble.{H7179}

Clubs{H8455} are counted{H2803} as stubble:{H7179} He laugheth{H7832} at the rushing{H7494} of the javelin.{H3591}

His underparts are [like] sharp{H2303} potsherds:{H2789} He spreadeth{H7502} [as it were] a threshing-wain{H2742} upon the mire.{H2916}

He maketh the deep{H4688} to boil{H7570} like a pot:{H5518} He maketh{H7760} the sea{H3220} like a pot of ointment.{H4841}

He maketh a path{H5410} to shine{H215} after{H310} him; One would think{H2803} the deep{H8415} to be hoary.{H7872}

Upon earth{H6083} there is not his like,{H4915} That is made{H6213} without{H1097} fear.{H2844}

He beholdeth{H7200} everything that is high:{H1364} He is king{H4428} over all the sons{H1121} of pride.{H7830}
