Canst thou draw outH4900 leviathanH3882 with an hookH2443? or his tongueH3956 with a cordH2256 which thou lettest downH8257? {leviathan: That is, a whale or a whirlepoole} {which…: Heb. which thou drownest?}
Canst thou putH7760 an hookH100 into his noseH639? or boreH5344 his jawH3895 through with a thornH2336?
Will he make manyH7235 supplicationsH8469 unto thee? will he speakH1696 softH7390 words unto thee?
Will he makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee? wilt thou takeH3947 him for a servantH5650 for everH5769?
Wilt thou playH7832 with him as with a birdH6833? or wilt thou bindH7194 him for thy maidensH5291?
Shall the companionsH2271 make a banquetH3739 of him? shall they partH2673 him among the merchantsH3669?
Canst thou fillH4390 his skinH5785 with barbed ironsH7905? or his headH7218 with fishH1709 spearsH6767?
LayH7760 thine handH3709 upon him, rememberH2142 the battleH4421, do no moreH3254.
Behold, the hopeH8431 of him is in vainH3576: shall not one be cast downH2904 even at the sightH4758 of him?
None is so fierceH393 that dare stir him upH5782+H5782: who then is able to standH3320 beforeH6440 me?
Who hath preventedH6923 me, that I should repayH7999 him? whatsoever is under the whole heavenH8064 is mine.
I will not concealH2790 his partsH907, nor his powerH1369+H1697, nor his comelyH2433 proportionH6187.
Who can discoverH1540 the faceH6440 of his garmentH3830? or who can comeH935 to him with his doubleH3718 bridleH7448? {with: or, within}
Who can openH6605 the doorsH1817 of his faceH6440? his teethH8127 are terribleH367 round aboutH5439.
His scalesH4043+H650 are his prideH1346, shut up togetherH5462 as with a closeH6862 sealH2368. {scales: Heb. strong pieces of shields}
OneH259 is so nearH5066 to anotherH259, that no airH7307 can comeH935 between them.
They are joinedH1692 oneH376 to anotherH251, they stick togetherH3920, that they cannot be sunderedH6504.
By his neesingsH5846 a lightH216 doth shineH1984, and his eyesH5869 are like the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837.
Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980 burning lampsH3940, and sparksH3590 of fireH784 leap outH4422.
Out of his nostrilsH5156 goethH3318 smokeH6227, as out of a seethingH5301 potH1731 or caldronH100.
His breathH5315 kindlethH3857 coalsH1513, and a flameH3851 goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310.
In his neckH6677 remainethH3885 strengthH5797, and sorrowH1670 is turned into joyH1750 beforeH6440 him. {is turned into joy: Heb. rejoiceth}
The flakesH4651 of his fleshH1320 are joined togetherH1692: they are firmH3332 in themselves; they cannot be movedH4131. {flakes: Heb. fallings}
His heartH3820 is as firmH3332 as a stoneH68; yea, as hardH3332 as a pieceH6400 of the netherH8482 millstone.
When he raiseth upH7613 himself, the mightyH352 are afraidH1481: by reason of breakingsH7667 they purifyH2398 themselves.
The swordH2719 of him that layethH5381 at him cannot holdH6965: the spearH2595, the dartH4551, nor the habergeonH8302. {habergeon: or, breastplate}
He esteemethH2803 ironH1270 as strawH8401, and brassH5154 as rottenH7539 woodH6086.
The arrowH1121+H7198 cannot make him fleeH1272: slingstonesH68+H7050 are turnedH2015 with him into stubbleH7179.
DartsH8455 are countedH2803 as stubbleH7179: he laughethH7832 at the shakingH7494 of a spearH3591.
SharpH2303 stonesH2789 are under him: he spreadethH7502 sharp pointed thingsH2742 upon the mireH2916. {Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd}
He maketh the deepH4688 to boilH7570 like a potH5518: he makethH7760 the seaH3220 like a pot of ointmentH4841.
He maketh a pathH5410 to shineH215 afterH310 him; one would thinkH2803 the deepH8415 to be hoaryH7872.
Upon earthH6083 there is not his likeH4915, who is madeH6213 withoutH1097 fearH2844. {is made without fear: or, behave themselves without fear}
He beholdethH7200 all highH1364 things: he is a kingH4428 over all the childrenH1121 of prideH7830.
