Job 41:1-11 ▼

1 Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?

2 Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?

3 Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?

4 Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?

5 Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?

6 Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?

7 Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?

8 Lay thy hand upon him : remember the battle, and speak no more.

9 Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.

10 I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel : for who can resist my countenance?

11 Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.
