1Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook?
2Canst thou put a rope into his nose?
3Will he make many supplications unto thee?
4Will he make a covenant with thee,
5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird?
6Will the bands of fishermen make traffic of him?
7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons,
8Lay thy hand upon him;
9Behold, the hope of him is in vain:
10None is so fierce that he dare stir him up;
11Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him?
12I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
13Who can strip off his outer garment?
14Who can open the doors of his face?
15His strong scales are his pride,
16One is so near to another,
17They are joined one to another;
18His sneezings flash forth light,
19Out of his mouth go burning torches,
20Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth,
21His breath kindleth coals,
22In his neck abideth strength,
23The flakes of his flesh are joined together:
24His heart is as firm as a stone;
25When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid:
26If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail;
27He counteth iron as straw,
28The arrow cannot make him flee:
29Clubs are counted as stubble:
30His underparts are like sharp potsherds:
31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot:
32He maketh a path to shine after him;
33Upon earth there is not his like,
34He beholdeth everything that is high:
