1. “Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhookor press down his tongue with a cord?
2. Can you put a rope in his noseor pierce his jaw with a hook?
3. Will he make many pleas to you?Will he speak to you soft words?
4. Will he make a covenant with youto take him for your servant forever?
5. Will you play with him as with a bird,or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
6. Will traders bargain over him?Will they divide him up among the merchants?
7. Can you fill his skin with harpoonsor his head with fishing spears?
8. Lay your hands on him;remember the battle—you will not do it again!
9. Behold, the hope of a man is false;he is laid low even at the sight of him.
