1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie his tongue down with a rope? |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook? |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Will he beg you for mercy or speak softly to you? |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Will he make a covenant with you so that you can take him as a slave forever? |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Can you play with him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls? |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Will traders bargain for him or divide him among the merchants? |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears? |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Lay a hand on him. You will remember the battle and never repeat it! |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Any hope of capturing him proves false. Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him? |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10No one is ferocious enough to rouse Leviathan; who then can stand against Me? |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Who confronted Me, that I should repay him? Everything under heaven belongs to Me. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I cannot be silent about his limbs, his power, and his graceful proportions. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Who can strip off his outer covering? Who can penetrate his double layer of armor? |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Who can open his jaws, surrounded by those terrifying teeth? |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15His pride is in his rows of scales, closely sealed together. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16One scale is so close to another that no air can pass between them. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17They are joined to one another, so closely connected they cannot be separated. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18His snorting flashes with light, while his eyes are like the rays of dawn. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Flaming torches shoot from his mouth; fiery sparks fly out! |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot or burning reeds. |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour out of his mouth. |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Strength resides in his neck, and dismay dances before him. |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23The folds of his flesh are joined together, solid as metal and immovable. |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24His heart is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone! |
25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25When Leviathan rises, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw because of his thrashing. |
26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26The sword that reaches him will have no effect, nor will a spear, dart, or arrow. |
27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. |
28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him. |
29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29A club is regarded as stubble, and he laughs at the sound of a javelin. |
30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading the mud like a threshing sledge. |
31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like an ointment jar. |
32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32He leaves a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep had gray hair! |
33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33He has no equal on earth-- a creature devoid of fear! |
34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34He surveys everything that is haughty; he is king over all the proud beasts. |
