"Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
2
Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3
Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you?
4
Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever?
5
Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens?
6
Will your companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants?
7
Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?
8
Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle-- Never do it again!
