1 “Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord? 2 “Can you put a rope [made] of rushes into his nose Or pierce his jaw through with a hook? 3 “Will he make many supplications to you [begging to be spared]? Or will he speak soft words to you [to coax you to treat him kindly]? 4 “Will he make a covenant or an arrangement with you? Will you take him for your servant forever? 5 “Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him [and put him on a leash] for your maidens? 6 “Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants? Job 41:1-6, Amplified Bible. Copyright © 2015 by The Lockman Foundation.
