9 Any hope of subduing it is false;

the mere sight of it is overpowering.

10 No one is fierce enough to rouse it.

Who then is able to stand against me?

11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay?

Everything under heaven belongs to me.

12 “I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,

its strength and its graceful form.

9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain:

Shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up:

Who then is able to stand before me?

11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him?

Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

12 I will not conceal his parts,

Nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

9  No, it is useless to try to capture it.

The hunter who attempts it will be knocked down.

10 And since no one dares to disturb it,

who then can stand up to me?

11 Who has given me anything that I need to pay back?

Everything under heaven is mine.

12 “I want to emphasize Leviathan’s limbs

and its enormous strength and graceful form.

9 Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false;

Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?

10 No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.

Who then is able to stand against Me?

11 Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him?

Everything under heaven is Mine.

12 “I will not conceal his limbs,

His mighty power, or his graceful proportions.

9 There is no hope of defeating it;

just seeing it overwhelms people.

10 No one is brave enough to make it angry,

so who would be able to stand up against me?

11 No one has ever given me anything that I must pay back,

because everything under the sky belongs to me.

12 “I will speak about Leviathan’s arms and legs,

its great strength and well-formed body.

9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain:

Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

10 None is so fierce that he dare stir him up;

Who then is he that can stand before me?

11 Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him?

Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

12 I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,

Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.

9 Lo, hope as to him is belied: is not one cast down even at the sight of him? 10 None is so bold as to stir him up; and who is he that will stand before me?

11 Who hath first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 I will not be silent as to his parts, the story of his power, and the beauty of his structure.

9 Certainly, any hope ⸤of defeating it⸥ is a false hope. 

Doesn’t the sight of it overwhelm you? 

10 No one is brave enough to provoke Leviathan. 

Then who can stand in front of me?

11 Who can confront me that I should repay him? 

Everything under heaven belongs to me! 

12 “I will not be silent about Leviathan’s limbs, 

its strength, or its graceful form. 

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;

who then can stand against Me?

11 Who confronted Me, that I should repay him?

Everything under heaven belongs to Me.

12 I cannot be silent about his limbs,

his power, and his graceful proportions.

9 Any hope of capturing it will be disappointed;

were not even the gods overwhelmed at the sight of it?

10 No one is so fierce as to dare to stir it up.

Who can stand before it?

11 Who can confront it and be safe?

—under the whole heaven, who?

12 “I will not keep silence concerning its limbs,

or its mighty strength, or its splendid frame.

9 “Look, the hope of capturing it is false.

Will one be hurled down even at its sight?

10 Is it not fierce when somebody stirs it?

Who then is he who would stand before it?

11 Who has come to confront me, that I should repay him?

Under all the heavens, it belongs to me.

12 “I will not keep quiet concerning its limbs

or concerning the extent of its might and the gracefulness of its frame.

9 No one can possibly control the leviathan.

Just looking at it will terrify you.

10 No one dares to wake it up.

So who can possibly stand up to me?

11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay?

Everything on earth belongs to me.

12 “Now I will speak about the leviathan’s legs.

I will talk about its strength and its graceful body.

9 “Behold, your expectation is false;

Will you be laid low even at the sight of him?

10 “No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him;

Who then is he that can stand before Me?

11 “Who has given to Me that I should repay him?

Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine.

12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,

Or his mighty strength, or his orderly frame.
