## Can You Draw out Leviathan? 

###### 1
"Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down its tongue with a cord? 

###### 2
Can you put a rope in its nose Or pierce its jaw with a hook? 

###### 3
Will it make many supplications to you, Or will he speak to you soft words? 

###### 4
Will it cut a covenant with you? Will you take it for a slave forever? 

###### 5
Will you play with it as with a bird, Or will you bind it for your young women? 

###### 6
Will the traders bargain over it? Will they divide it among the merchants? 

###### 7
Can you fill its skin with harpoons, Or its head with fishing spears? 

###### 8
Place your hand on it; Remember the battle; you will not do that again! 

###### 9
Behold, his expectation is a lie; Will he be laid low even at the sight of it? 

###### 10
No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse it; Who then is he that can stand before Me? 

###### 11
Who has given to Me that I should repay _him_? _Whatever_ is under the whole heaven is Mine. 

###### 12
"I will not keep silence concerning its limbs, Or its mighty strength or its graceful frame. 

###### 13
Who can strip off its outer armor? Who can come with its doubled bridle? 

###### 14
Who can open the doors of its face? Around its teeth there is dreadful terror. 

###### 15
_Its_ strong scales are _its_ pride, Shut up _as with_ a tight seal. 

###### 16
One is so near to another That no air can come between them. 

###### 17
They cling one to another; They are interlocked and cannot be separated. 

###### 18
Its sneezes flash forth light, And its eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 

###### 19
Out of its mouth go burning torches; Sparks of fire leap forth. 

###### 20
Out of its nostrils smoke goes forth As _from_ a boiling pot and _burning_ reeds. 

###### 21
Its breath kindles coals, And a flame goes forth from its mouth. 

###### 22
In its neck lodges strength, And dismay leaps before it. 

###### 23
The folds of its flesh cling together, Hardened upon it and is not shaken. 

###### 24
Its heart is as hard as a stone, Even as hard as a lower millstone. 

###### 25
When it raises itself up, the mighty fear, Because of the crashing they are bewildered. 

###### 26
The sword that reaches it cannot avail, Nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin. 

###### 27
It regards iron as straw, Bronze as rotten wood. 

###### 28
The arrow cannot make it flee; Slingstones are turned into stubble for it. 

###### 29
Clubs are regarded as stubble; It laughs at the rattling of the javelin. 

###### 30
Its underparts are _like_ sharp potsherds; It spreads out _like_ a threshing sledge on the mire. 

###### 31
It makes the depths boil like a pot; It makes the sea like a jar of ointment. 

###### 32
Behind it, it makes a wake to shine; One would think the deep to be gray-haired. 

###### 33
There is nothing upon the dust like it, One made without terror. 

###### 34
It looks on everything that is high; It is king over all the sons of pride."
