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?
