1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook ? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down ?12 2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose ? or bore his jaw through with a thorn ? 3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto 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 thine 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 dare stir him up : who then is able to stand before me?
11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 I will not conceal his parts , nor his power , nor his comely proportion . 13 Who can discover the face of his garment ? or who can come to him with his double bridle ?3 14 Who 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 .4 16 One is so near to another , that no air can come between them. 17 They are joined one to another , they stick together , that they cannot be sundered . 18 By his neesings a light doth shine , and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning . 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps , and sparks of fire leap out . 20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke , as out of a seething pot or caldron . 21 His breath kindleth coals , and a flame goeth out of his mouth . 22 In his neck remaineth strength , and sorrow is turned into joy before him.5 23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together : they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved .6 24 His heart is as firm as a stone ; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. 25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid : by reason of breakings they purify themselves. 26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold : the spear , the dart , nor the habergeon .7 27 He esteemeth iron as straw , and brass as rotten wood . 28 The arrow cannot make him flee : slingstones are turned with him into stubble . 29 Darts are counted as stubble : he laugheth at the shaking of a spear . 30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire .8 31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot : he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment . 32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary . 33 Upon earth there is not his like , who is made without fear .9 34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride .
