Job 41:1-10 ▼

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?
