1 Wilt thou draw out the crocodile with a hook and with a cord wilt thou press down his tongue? 2 Wilt thou put a rope in his nose? and wilt thou hollow out his jaw with a thorn? 3 Will he multiply supplications to thee? will he speak soft things to thee? 4 Will he cut out a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant forever? 5 Wilt thou play with him as a bird? and wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 6 Shall companions give a feast upon him? shall they divide him between the Canaanites? 7 Wilt thou fill his skin with pointed weapons? and his head with fish spears? 8 Put thy hand upon him; remember the battle, thou shalt not add. 9 Behold, his hope was false: shall he not be cast down at his sight? 10 None fierce that he will rouse him up: and who is he will stand before me?
