Canst thou draw out{H4900}{(H8799)} leviathan{H3882} with an hook{H2443}? or his tongue{H3956} with a cord{H2256} which thou lettest down{H8257}{(H8686)}?

Canst thou put{H7760}{(H8799)} an hook{H100} into his nose{H639}? or bore{H5344}{(H8799)} his jaw{H3895} through with a thorn{H2336}?

Will he make many{H7235}{(H8686)} supplications{H8469} unto thee? will he speak{H1696}{(H8762)} soft{H7390} words unto thee?

Will he make{H3772}{(H8799)} a covenant{H1285} with thee? wilt thou take{H3947}{(H8799)} him for a servant{H5650} for ever{H5769}?

Wilt thou play{H7832}{(H8762)} with him as with a bird{H6833}? or wilt thou bind{H7194}{(H8799)} him for thy maidens{H5291}?

Shall the companions{H2271} make a banquet{H3739}{(H8799)} of him? shall they part{H2673}{(H8799)} him among the merchants{H3669}?

Canst thou fill{H4390}{(H8762)} his skin{H5785} with barbed irons{H7905}? or his head{H7218} with fish{H1709} spears{H6767}?

Lay{H7760}{(H8798)} thine hand{H3709} upon him, remember{H2142}{(H8798)} the battle{H4421}, do no more{H3254}{(H8686)}.

Behold, the hope{H8431} of him is in vain{H3576}{(H8738)}: shall not one be cast down{H2904}{(H8714)} even at the sight{H4758} of him?

None is so fierce{H393} that dare stir him up{H5782}{(H8799)}{(H8675)}{H5782}{(H8686)}: who then is able to stand{H3320}{(H8691)} before{H6440} me?

Who hath prevented{H6923}{(H8689)} me, that I should repay{H7999}{(H8762)} him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven{H8064} is mine.

I will not conceal{H2790}{(H8686)} his parts{H907}, nor his power{H1369}{H1697}, nor his comely{H2433} proportion{H6187}.

Who can discover{H1540}{(H8765)} the face{H6440} of his garment{H3830}? or who can come{H935}{(H8799)} to him with his double{H3718} bridle{H7448}?

Who can open{H6605}{(H8765)} the doors{H1817} of his face{H6440}? his teeth{H8127} are terrible{H367} round about{H5439}.

His scales{H4043}{H650} are his pride{H1346}, shut up together{H5462}{(H8803)} as with a close{H6862} seal{H2368}.

One{H259} is so near{H5066}{(H8799)} to another{H259}, that no air{H7307} can come{H935}{(H8799)} between them.

They are joined{H1692}{(H8792)} one{H376} to another{H251}, they stick together{H3920}{(H8691)}, that they cannot be sundered{H6504}{(H8691)}.

By his neesings{H5846} a light{H216} doth shine{H1984}{(H8686)}, and his eyes{H5869} are like the eyelids{H6079} of the morning{H7837}.

Out of his mouth{H6310} go{H1980}{(H8799)} burning lamps{H3940}, and sparks{H3590} of fire{H784} leap out{H4422}{(H8691)}.

Out of his nostrils{H5156} goeth{H3318}{(H8799)} smoke{H6227}, as out of a seething{H5301}{(H8803)} pot{H1731} or caldron{H100}.

His breath{H5315} kindleth{H3857}{(H8762)} coals{H1513}, and a flame{H3851} goeth out{H3318}{(H8799)} of his mouth{H6310}.

In his neck{H6677} remaineth{H3885}{(H8799)} strength{H5797}, and sorrow{H1670} is turned into joy{H1750}{(H8799)} before{H6440} him.

The flakes{H4651} of his flesh{H1320} are joined together{H1692}{(H8804)}: they are firm{H3332}{(H8803)} in themselves; they cannot be moved{H4131}{(H8735)}.

His heart{H3820} is as firm{H3332}{(H8803)} as a stone{H68}; yea, as hard{H3332}{(H8803)} as a piece{H6400} of the nether{H8482} millstone.

When he raiseth up{H7613} himself, the mighty{H352} are afraid{H1481}{(H8799)}: by reason of breakings{H7667} they purify{H2398}{(H8691)} themselves.

The sword{H2719} of him that layeth{H5381}{(H8688)} at him cannot hold{H6965}{(H8799)}: the spear{H2595}, the dart{H4551}, nor the habergeon{H8302}.

He esteemeth{H2803}{(H8799)} iron{H1270} as straw{H8401}, and brass{H5154} as rotten{H7539} wood{H6086}.

The arrow{H1121}{H7198} cannot make him flee{H1272}{(H8686)}: slingstones{H68}{H7050} are turned{H2015}{(H8738)} with him into stubble{H7179}.

Darts{H8455} are counted{H2803}{(H8738)} as stubble{H7179}: he laugheth{H7832}{(H8799)} at the shaking{H7494} of a spear{H3591}.

Sharp{H2303} stones{H2789} are under him: he spreadeth{H7502}{(H8799)} sharp pointed things{H2742} upon the mire{H2916}.

He maketh the deep{H4688} to boil{H7570}{(H8686)} like a pot{H5518}: he maketh{H7760}{(H8799)} the sea{H3220} like a pot of ointment{H4841}.

He maketh a path{H5410} to shine{H215}{(H8686)} after{H310} him; one would think{H2803}{(H8799)} the deep{H8415} to be hoary{H7872}.

Upon earth{H6083} there is not his like{H4915}, who is made{H6213}{(H8803)} without{H1097} fear{H2844}.

He beholdeth{H7200}{(H8799)} all high{H1364} things: he is a king{H4428} over all the children{H1121} of pride{H7830}.
