Job 41:1-7 New International Version (NIV)

1. “Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook or 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 keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak to you with gentle words?

4. Will it make an agreement with you for you to take it as your slave for life?

5. Can you make a pet of it like a bird or put it on a leash for the young women in your house?

6. Will traders barter for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants?

7. Can you fill its hide with harpoons or its head with fishing spears?
