✧Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord [which] thou lettest down? ✧2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? ✧3Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft [words] unto thee? ✧4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? ✧5Wilt thou play with him as [with] a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? ✧6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? ✧7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? ✧8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. ✧9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him? ✧10None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? ✧11Who hath prevented me, that I should repay [him? whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine. ✧12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. ✧13Who can discover the face of his garment? [or] who can come [to him] with his double bridle? ✧14Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth [are] terrible round about. ✧15[His] scales [are his] pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal. ✧16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. ✧17They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. ✧18By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning. ✧19Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire leap out. ✧20Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron. ✧21His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. ✧22In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. ✧23The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. ✧24His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether [millstone]. ✧25When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. ✧26The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. ✧27He esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood. ✧28The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. ✧29Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. ✧30Sharp stones [are] under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. ✧31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. ✧32He maketh a path to shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be] hoary. ✧33Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. ✧34He beholdeth all high [things:] he [is] a king over all the children of pride.
