1. (40:25) “Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook,and tie down its tongue with a rope?
2. Can you put a cord through its nose,or pierce its jaw with a hook?
3. Will it make numerous supplications to you,will it speak to you with tender words?
4. Will it make a pact with you,so you could take it as your slave for life?
5. Can you play with it, like a bird,or tie it on a leash for your girls?
6. Will partners bargain for it?Will they divide it up among the merchants?
7. Can you fill its hide with harpoonsor its head with fishing spears?
8. If you lay your hand on it,you will remember the fight, and you will never do it again!
9. (41:1) See, his expectation is wrong,he is laid low even at the sight of it.
10. Is it not fierce when it is awakened?Who is he, then, who can stand before it?
11. (Who has confronted me that I should repay?Everything under heaven belongs to me!)
12. I will not keep silent about its limbs,and the extent of its might, and the grace of its arrangement.
13. Who can uncover its outer covering?Who can penetrate to the inside of its armor?
14. Who can open the doors of its mouth?Its teeth all around are fearsome.
