411Wilt thou draw out the leviathan with the hook, and press down his tongue with a cord?+2Wilt thou put a rush-rope into his nose, and pierce his jaw with a spike?+3Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak softly unto thee?+4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him as a bondman for ever?+5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird, and wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?+6Shall partners make traffic of him, will they divide him among merchants?+7Wilt thou fill his skin with darts, and his head with fish-spears? 8Lay thy hand upon him; remember the battle, — do no more!+9Lo, hope as to him is belied: is not one cast down even at the sight of him?+10None is so bold as to stir him up; and who is he that will stand before me?+11Who hath first given to me, that I should repay [him]? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.+12I will not be silent as to his parts, the story of his power, and the beauty of his structure.+13Who can uncover the surface of his garment? who can come within his double jaws?+14Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.+15The rows of his shields are a pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.+16One is so near to another that no air can come between them; 17They are joined each to its fellow; they stick together, and cannot be sundered. 18His sneezings flash light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.+19Out of his mouth go forth flames; sparks of fire leap out:+20Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot and cauldron.+21His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.+22In his neck lodgeth strength, and terror danceth before him.+23The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are fused upon him, they cannot be moved.+24His heart is firm as a stone, yea, firm as the nether [millstone].+25When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: they are beside themselves with consternation.+26If any reach him with a sword, it cannot hold; neither spear, nor dart, nor harpoon.+27He esteemeth iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood. 28The arrow will not make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.+29Clubs are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.+30His under parts are sharp potsherds: he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.+31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment; 32He maketh the path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary.+33Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.+34He beholdeth all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.+
