Job 41

¹Dost thou draw leviathan with an angle? And with a rope thou lettest down — his tongue?

²Dost thou put a reed in his nose? And with a thorn pierce his jaw?

³Doth he multiply unto thee supplications? Doth he speak unto thee tender things?

⁴Doth he make a covenant with thee? Dost thou take him for a servant age-during?

⁵Dost thou play with him as a bird? And dost thou bind him for thy damsels?

⁶(Feast upon him do companions, They divide him among the merchants!)

⁷Dost thou fill with barbed irons his skin? And with fish-spears his head?

⁸Place on him thy hand, Remember the battle — do not add!

⁹Lo, the hope of him is found a liar, Also at his appearance is not one cast down?

¹⁰None so fierce that he doth awake him, And who [is] he before Me stationeth himself?

¹¹Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it [is] mine.

¹²I do not keep silent concerning his parts, And the matter of might, And the grace of his arrangement.

¹³Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his double bridle who doth enter?

¹⁴The doors of his face who hath opened? Round about his teeth [are] terrible.

¹⁵A pride — strong ones of shields, Shut up — a close seal.
