1. “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook,Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
2. Can you put a reed through his nose,Or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3. Will he make many supplications to you?Will he speak softly to you?
4. Will he make a covenant with you?Will you take him as a servant forever?
5. Will you play with him as with a bird,Or will you leash him for your maidens?
6. Will your companions make a banquet of him?Will they apportion him among the merchants?
7. Can you fill his skin with harpoons,Or his head with fishing spears?
8. Lay your hand on him;Remember the battle—Never do it again!
9. Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false;Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?
