Job 41:1-10 ▼

1 Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie his tongue down with a rope?

2 Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?

3 Will he beg you for mercy or speak softly to you?

4 Will he make a covenant with you so that you can take him as a slave forever?

5 Can you play with him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls?

6 Will traders bargain for him or divide him among the merchants?

7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?

8 Lay a hand on him. You will remember the battle and never repeat it!

9 Any hope of capturing him proves false. Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him?

10 No one is ferocious enough to rouse Leviathan; who then can stand against me?
