1 - Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord [which] thou lettest down?

2 - Canst thou put a hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

3 - Will he make many supplications to thee? will he speak soft [words] to thee?

4 - Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

5 - Wilt thou play with him as [with] a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

6 - Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants.

7 - Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

8 - Lay thy hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

9 - Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him?

10 - None [is so] fierce that he dare rouse him: who then is able to stand before me?

11 - Who hath first benefited me, that I should repay [him]? [whatever is] under the whole heaven is mine.

12 - I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

13 - Who can discover the face of his garment? [or] who can come [to him] with his double bridle?

14 - Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth [are] terrible around.

15 - [His] scales [are his] pride, shut together [as with] a close seal.

16 - One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

17 - They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

18 - His sneezings flash light, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning.

19 - Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire dart forth.

20 - Out of his nostrils issueth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron.

21 - His breath kindleth coals, and a flame issueth from his mouth.

22 - In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

23 - The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

24 - His heart is as firm as a stone; yes, as hard as a piece of the nether [millstone].

25 - When he raiseth himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

26 - The sword of him that attacketh him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

27 - He esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.

28 - The arrow cannot make him flee: sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.

29 - Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

30 - Sharp stones [are] under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

31 - He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

32 - He maketh a path to shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be] hoary.

33 - Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

34 - He beholdeth all high [things]: he [is] a king over all the children of pride.
