[1]CAN you catch the Leviathan with a hook? Or draw him out with a cord in his mouth?[2]Can you put a bridle in his mouth? Or bore his jaw with a thorn?[3]Will he make many supplications to you? Or will he speak flattering words to you?[4]Will he make a covenant with you? Or will you count him as a servant for ever?[5]Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you keep him as a pet for your children?[6]Shall fishermen gather over him? Shall they divide him among many people?[7]Can you fill his skin with meat? Or bake his head with fire?[8]Try to capture him; such a battle you will have! You will never forget it.[9]Behold, Job, you now are set free from your afflictions. So your God will also remove your bitterness.[10]One cannot go far off when Leviathan is stirred up; but who then is able to stand before me[11]Who has pre-eminence over me, so that I should surrender?[12]Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.[13]I will not keep silence because of his power, and the might of his sinews.[14]Who has removed his skin? Who can come near him when the net is lowered?[15]Who can open the doors of his mouth? His teeth are terrible round about.[16]His mouth is tied up, and closely shut, as with a seal.[17]His teeth are so close together that no air can come between them.[18]They are joined one to another, they stick together so that they cannot be separated.[19]His appearance is full of light, and his eyes are like rays of the dawn.[20]Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.[21]Out of his nostrils goes smoke, like a flame spreading round the sides of a pot.[22]His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.[23]He has great strength in his neck, and fear is to him like dancing.[24]His meat is good and fat, and it is nourishing.[25]His heart is never made to quake for fear, but is firm like a stone; yea as hard as flint.[26]Because of the fear of him, the mighty are afraid;[27]And the strong are humbled.[28]The wound of the sword is of no effect; the lances of the mighty he removes.[29]He considers iron like straw, and brass like rotten wood.[30]The bow cannot make him flee; he treats slingstones as stubble.[31]He laughs at the spear; he is at home in the deep as if he were on the dry land.[32]With his strong body he walks upon the ground.[33]He brings to destruction whatever is proud.[34]He is a king over all things in the deep
