"Can you draw out 1Leviathan with a fishhook or press down his tongue with a cord?
2
Can you put 2a rope in his nose or pierce his jaw with 3a hook?
3
Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak to you soft words?
4
Will he make a covenant with you to take him for 4your servant forever?
5
Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
6
Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
7
Can you fill his skin with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
8
Lay your hands on him; remember the battle--you will not do it again!
9
Behold, the hope of a man is false; he is laid low even at the sight of him.
10
No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?
