| [1]Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? |
[1]הֵן־תֹּחַלְתֹּ֥ו נִכְזָ֑בָה הֲגַ֖ם אֶל־מַרְאָ֣יו יֻטָֽל׃ |
| [2]Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? |
[2]לֹֽא־אַ֭כְזָר כִּ֣י יְעוּרֶ֑נּוּ וּמִ֥י ה֝֗וּא לְפָנַ֥י יִתְיַצָּֽב׃ |
| [3]Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? |
[3]מִ֣י הִ֭קְדִּימַנִי וַאֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם תַּ֖חַת כָּל־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם לִי־הֽוּא׃ |
| [4]Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? |
[4][לֹא־ כ] (לֹֽו־אַחֲרִ֥ישׁ ק) בַּדָּ֑יו וּדְבַר־גְּ֝בוּרֹ֗ות וְחִ֣ין עֶרְכֹּֽו׃ |
| [5]Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? |
[5]מִֽי־גִ֭לָּה פְּנֵ֣י לְבוּשֹׁ֑ו בְּכֶ֥פֶל רִ֝סְנֹ֗ו מִ֣י יָבֹֽוא׃ |
| [6]Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? |
[6]דַּלְתֵ֣י פָ֭נָיו מִ֣י פִתֵּ֑חַ סְבִיבֹ֖ות שִׁנָּ֣יו אֵימָֽה׃ |
| [7]Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? |
[7]גַּ֭אֲוָה אֲפִיקֵ֣י מָֽגִנִּ֑ים סָ֝ג֗וּר חֹותָ֥ם צָֽר׃ |
| [8]Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. |
[8]אֶחָ֣ד בְּאֶחָ֣ד יִגַּ֑שׁוּ וְ֝ר֗וּחַ לֹא־יָבֹ֥וא בֵֽינֵיהֶֽם׃ |
| [9]Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? |
[9]אִישׁ־בְּאָחִ֥יהוּ יְדֻבָּ֑קוּ יִ֝תְלַכְּד֗וּ וְלֹ֣א יִתְפָּרָֽדוּ׃ |
| [10]None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? |
[10]עֲֽ֭טִישֹׁתָיו תָּ֣הֶל אֹ֑ור וְ֝עֵינָ֗יו כְּעַפְעַפֵּי־שָֽׁחַר׃ |
| [11]Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. |
[11]מִ֭פִּיו לַפִּידִ֣ים יַהֲלֹ֑כוּ כִּידֹ֥ודֵי אֵ֝֗שׁ יִתְמַלָּֽטוּ׃ |
| [12]I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. |
[12]מִ֭נְּחִירָיו יֵצֵ֣א עָשָׁ֑ן כְּד֖וּד נָפ֣וּחַ וְאַגְמֹֽן׃ |
| [13]Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? |
[13]נַ֭פְשֹׁו גֶּחָלִ֣ים תְּלַהֵ֑ט וְ֝לַ֗הַב מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא׃ |
| [14]Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. |
[14]בְּֽ֭צַוָּארֹו יָלִ֣ין עֹ֑ז וּ֝לְפָנָ֗יו תָּד֥וּץ דְּאָבָֽה׃ |
| [15]His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. |
[15]מַפְּלֵ֣י בְשָׂרֹ֣ו דָבֵ֑קוּ יָצ֥וּק עָ֝לָ֗יו בַּל־יִמֹּֽוט׃ |
| [16]One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. |
[16]לִ֭בֹּו יָצ֣וּק כְּמֹו־אָ֑בֶן וְ֝יָצ֗וּק כְּפֶ֣לַח תַּחְתִּֽית׃ |
| [17]They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. |
[17]מִ֭שֵּׂתֹו יָג֣וּרוּ אֵלִ֑ים מִ֝שְּׁבָרִ֗ים יִתְחַטָּֽאוּ׃ |
| [18]By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. |
[18]מַשִּׂיגֵ֣הוּ חֶ֭רֶב בְּלִ֣י תָק֑וּם חֲנִ֖ית מַסָּ֣ע וְשִׁרְיָֽה׃ |
| [19]Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. |
[19]יַחְשֹׁ֣ב לְתֶ֣בֶן בַּרְזֶ֑ל לְעֵ֖ץ רִקָּבֹ֣ון נְחוּשָֽׁה׃ |
| [20]Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. |
[20]לֹֽא־יַבְרִיחֶ֥נּוּ בֶן־קָ֑שֶׁת לְ֝קַ֗שׁ נֶהְפְּכוּ־לֹ֥ו אַבְנֵי־קָֽלַע׃ |
| [21]His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. |
[21]כְּ֭קַשׁ נֶחְשְׁב֣וּ תֹותָ֑ח וְ֝יִשְׂחַ֗ק לְרַ֣עַשׁ כִּידֹֽון׃ |
| [22]In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. |
[22]תַּ֭חְתָּיו חַדּ֣וּדֵי חָ֑רֶשׂ יִרְפַּ֖ד חָר֣וּץ עֲלֵי־טִֽיט׃ |
| [23]The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. |
[23]יַרְתִּ֣יחַ כַּסִּ֣יר מְצוּלָ֑ה יָ֝֗ם יָשִׂ֥ים כַּמֶּרְקָחָֽה׃ |
| [24]His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. |
[24]אַ֭חֲרָיו יָאִ֣יר נָתִ֑יב יַחְשֹׁ֖ב תְּהֹ֣ום לְשֵׂיבָֽה׃ |
| [25]When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. |
[25]אֵֽין־עַל־עָפָ֥ר מָשְׁלֹ֑ו הֶ֝עָשׂ֗וּ לִבְלִי־חָֽת׃ |
| [26]The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. |
[26]אֵֽת־כָּל־גָּבֹ֥הַּ יִרְאֶ֑ה ה֝֗וּא מֶ֣לֶךְ עַל־כָּל־בְּנֵי־שָֽׁחַץ׃ |
| [27]He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. |
27[No verse] |
| [28]The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. |
28[No verse] |
| [29]Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. |
29[No verse] |
| [30]Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. |
30[No verse] |
| [31]He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. |
31[No verse] |
| [32]He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. |
32[No verse] |
| [33]Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. |
33[No verse] |
| [34]He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride. |
