Can you pull in Leviathanp with a hookq

or tie his tongue down with a rope?

2 Can you put a cordG through his nose

or pierce his jaw with a hook?r

3 Will he beg you for mercy

or speak softly to you?

4 Will he make a covenant with you

so that you can take him as a slave forever?s

5 Can you play with him like a bird

or put him on a leashH for your girls?

6 Will traders bargain for him

or divide him among the merchants?

7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons

or his head with fishing spears?

8 Lay aI hand on him.

You will remember the battle

and never repeat it!

9 Any hope of capturing him proves false.

Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him?

10 No one is ferocious enough to rouse Leviathan;t

who then can stand against me?

11 Who confronted me, that I should repay him?

Everything under heaven belongs to me.a
