Job 41:1-10 ▼

1 “Do you draw leviathan with a hook? And do you let down his tongue with a rope?

2 Do you put a reed in his nose? And pierce his jaw with a thorn?

3 Does he multiply supplications to you? Does he speak tender things to you?

4 Does he make a covenant with you? Do you take him for a perpetual servant?

5 Do you play with him as a bird? And do you bind him for your girls?

6 (Companions feast on him, || They divide him among the merchants!)

7 Do you fill his skin with barbed irons? And his head with fish-spears?

8 Place your hand on him, || Remember the battle—do not add!

9 Behold, the hope of him is found a liar, || Also, is one not cast down at his appearance?

10 None so fierce that he awakes him, || And who [is] he [who] stations himself before Me?
