Job 41:1-10 ▼

1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?But wilt thou catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?

2 Canst thou put a ring into his nose? Or bore his jaw through with a hook?

3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee?

4 Will he make a covenant with thee, That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?

5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

6 Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part him among the merchants?

7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? Or his head with fish-spears?

8 Lay thy hand upon him; Think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.

9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain; Shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up; Who then is able to stand before Me?
