1 (40:25) Canst thou drawe out Leuiathan with an hooke, or binde his tongue with a corde?

2 (40:26) Canst thou put a hooke in the nose of him, or bore his iawe through with a naule?

3 (40:27) Wyl he make many faire wordes with thee thinkest thou or flatter thee?

4 (40:28) Wyll he make a couenaunt with thee? or wilt thou take him for a seruaunt for euer?

5 (40:29) Wylt thou take thy pastime with him as with a birde, wilt thou binde him for thy maydens?

6 (40:30) That thy companions may make a refection of him: or shall he be parted among the marchauntes?

7 (40:31) Canst thou fil the basket with his skin? or the fishe panier with his head?

8 (40:32) Laye thyne hande vpon him, remember the battaile, and do no more so.

9 (40:33) Beholde his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perishe euen at the sight of him?

10 (41:1) No man is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: Who is able to stande before me?
