| [1]Canst thou draw outH4900[H8799] leviathanH3882 with an hookH2443? or his tongueH3956 with a cordH2256 which thou lettest downH8257?[H8686] |
[1]None is so fierce that dare stir him up. Who is he then that can stand before me? |
| [2]Canst thou putH7760[H8799] an hookH100 into his noseH639? or boreH5344[H8799] his jawH3895 through with a thornH2336? |
[2]Who hath prevented me that I should make an end? All under heaven is mine. |
| [3]Will he make manyH7235[H8686] supplicationsH8469 unto thee? will he speakH1696[H8762] soft words unto theeH7390? |
[3]I will not keep silence concerning his parts, nor his power nor his comely proportion. |
| [4]Will he makeH3772[H8799] a covenantH1285 with thee? wilt thou takeH3947[H8799] him for a servantH5650 for everH5769? |
[4]Who can discover the face of his garment? Or who shall come to him with a double bridle? |
| [5]Wilt thou playH7832[H8762] with him as with a birdH6833? or wilt thou bindH7194[H8799] him for thy maidensH5291? |
[5]Who shall open the doors of his face? His teeth are fearful round about. |
| [6]Shall the companionsH2271 make a banquetH3739[H8799] of him? shall they partH2673[H8799] him among the merchantsH3669? |
[6]The majesty of his scales is like strong shields, and are sure sealed. |
| [7]Canst thou fillH4390[H8762] his skinH5785 with barbed ironsH7905? or his headH7218 with fishH1709 spearsH6767? |
[7]One is set to another, that no wind can come between them. |
| [8]LayH7760[H8798] thine handH3709 upon him, rememberH2142[H8798] the battleH4421, do no moreH3254.[H8686] |
[8]One is joined to another: they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. |
| [9]Behold, the hopeH8431 of him is in vainH3576[H8738]: shall not one be cast downH2904[H8714] even at the sight of himH4758? |
[9]His sneezings make the light to shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. |
| [10]None is so fierceH393 that dare stir him upH5782[H8799][H8675][H5782][H8686]: who then is able to standH3320[H8691] before meH6440? |
[10]Out of his mouth go lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. |
| [11]Who hath preventedH6923[H8689] me, that I should repayH7999[H8762] him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mineH8064. |
[11]Out of his nostrils cometh out smoke, as out of a boiling pot or cauldron. |
| [12]I will not concealH2790[H8686] his partsH907, nor his powerH1369[H1697], nor his comelyH2433 proportionH6187. |
[12]His breath maketh the coals burn: for a flame goeth out of his mouth. |
| [13]Who can discoverH1540[H8765] the faceH6440 of his garmentH3830? or who can comeH935[H8799] to him with his doubleH3718 bridleH7448? |
[13]In his neck remaineth strength, and labor is rejected before his face. |
| [14]Who can openH6605[H8765] the doorsH1817 of his faceH6440? his teethH8127 are terribleH367 round aboutH5439. |
[14]The members of his body are joined: they are strong in themselves, and cannot be moved. |
| [15]His scalesH4043[H650] are his prideH1346, shut up togetherH5462[H8803] as with a closeH6862 sealH2368. |
[15]His heart is as strong as a stone, and as hard as the nether millstone. |
| [16]OneH259 is so nearH5066[H8799] to anotherH259, that no airH7307 can comeH935 between themH8799. |
[16]The mighty are afraid of his majesty, and for fear they faint in themselves. |
| [17]They are joinedH1692[H8792] oneH376 to anotherH251, they stick togetherH3920[H8691], that they cannot be sunderedH6504.[H8691] |
[17]When the sword doth touch him, he will not rise up, nor for the spear dart nor habergeon. |
| [18]By his neesingsH5846 a lightH216 doth shineH1984[H8686], and his eyesH5869 are like the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837. |
[18]He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. |
| [19]Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980[H8799] burning lampsH3940, and sparksH3590 of fireH784 leap outH4422.[H8691] |
[19]The archer cannot make him flee: the stones of the sling are turned into stubble unto him: |
| [20]Out of his nostrilsH5156 goethH3318[H8799] smokeH6227, as out of a seethingH5301[H8803] potH1731 or caldronH100. |
[20]The darts are counted as straw: and he laugheth at the shaking of the spear. |
| [21]His breathH5315 kindlethH3857[H8762] coalsH1513, and a flameH3851 goeth outH3318[H8799] of his mouthH6310. |
[21]Sharp stones are under him, and he spreadeth sharp things upon the mire. |
| [22]In his neckH6677 remainethH3885[H8799] strengthH5797, and sorrowH1670 is turned into joyH1750[H8799] before himH6440. |
[22]He maketh the depth to boil like a pot, and maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. |
| [23]The flakesH4651 of his fleshH1320 are joined togetherH1692[H8804]: they are firmH3332[H8803] in themselves; they cannot be movedH4131.[H8735] |
[23]He maketh a path to shine after him: one would think the depth as an hoar head. |
| [24]His heartH3820 is as firmH3332[H8803] as a stoneH68; yea, as hardH3332[H8803] as a pieceH6400 of the nether millstoneH8482. |
[24]In the earth there is none like him: he is made without fear. |
| [25]When he raiseth upH7613 himself, the mightyH352 are afraidH1481[H8799]: by reason of breakingsH7667 they purifyH2398 themselvesH8691. |
[25]He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride. |
| [26]The swordH2719 of him that layethH5381[H8688] at him cannot holdH6965[H8799]: the spearH2595, the dartH4551, nor the habergeonH8302. |
26[No verse] |

| [28]The arrowH1121[H7198] cannot make him fleeH1272[H8686]: slingstonesH68[H7050] are turnedH2015[H8738] with him into stubbleH7179. |
28[No verse] |
| [29]DartsH8455 are countedH2803[H8738] as stubbleH7179: he laughethH7832[H8799] at the shakingH7494 of a spearH3591. |
29[No verse] |
| [30]SharpH2303 stonesH2789 are under him: he spreadethH7502[H8799] sharp pointed thingsH2742 upon the mireH2916. |

| [31]He maketh the deepH4688 to boilH7570[H8686] like a potH5518: he makethH7760[H8799] the seaH3220 like a pot of ointmentH4841. |
31[No verse] |
| [32]He maketh a pathH5410 to shineH215[H8686] afterH310 him; one would thinkH2803[H8799] the deepH8415 to be hoaryH7872. |
32[No verse] |
