[1] “Can you draw out Leviathanⓘ with a fish hook,
or press down his tongue with a cord?
[2] Can you put a rope into his nose,
or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
[3] Will he make many petitions to you,
or will he speak soft words to you?
[4] Will he make a covenant with you,
that you should take him for a servant forever?
[5] Will you play with him as with a bird?
Or will you bind him for your girls?
[6] Will traders barter for him?
Will they part him among the merchants?
[7] Can you fill his skin with barbed irons,
or his head with fish spears?
[8] Lay your hand on him.
Remember the battle, and do so no more.
[9] Behold, the hope of him is in vain.
Won’t 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 who can stand before me?
[11] Who has first given to me, that I should repay him?
Everything under the heavens is mine. [12] “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
[13] Who can strip off his outer garment?
Who will come within his jaws?
[14] Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth is terror.
[15] Strong scales are his pride,
shut up together with a close seal. [16] One is so near to another,
that no air can come between them.
[17] They are joined to one another.
They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.
[18] His sneezing flashes out light.
His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
[19] Out of his mouth go burning torches.
Sparks of fire leap out.
[20] Out of his nostrils a smoke goes,
as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
[21] His breath kindles coals.
A flame goes out of his mouth.
[22] There is strength in his neck.
Terror dances before him.
[23] The flakes of his flesh are joined together.
They are firm on him.
They can’t be moved.
[24] His heart is as firm as a stone,
yes, firm as the lower millstone.
[25] When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid.
They retreat before his thrashing.
[26] If one attacks him with the sword, it can’t prevail;
nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
[27] He counts iron as straw,
and bronze as rotten wood.
[28] The arrow can’t make him flee.
Sling stones are like chaff to him.
[29] Clubs are counted as stubble.
He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.
[30] His undersides are like sharp potsherds,
leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
[31] He makes the deep to boil like a pot.
He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
[32] He makes a path shine after him.
One would think the deep had white hair.
[33] On earth there is not his equal,
that is made without fear.
[34] He sees everything that is high.
He is king over all the sons of pride.”

King James Version
[1] Canst thou draw outH4900(QalImpf) leviathanH3882 with an hook?H2443 or his tongueH3956 with a cordH2256 [which] thou lettest down?H8257(HiphImpf) [2] Canst thou putH7760(QalImpf) an hookH100 into his nose?H639 or boreH5344(QalImpf) his jawH3895 through with a thorn?H2336 [3] Will he make manyH7235(HiphImpf) supplicationsH8469 unto thee? will he speakH1696(PielImpf) softH7390 [words] unto thee? [4] Will he makeH3772(QalImpf) a covenantH1285 with thee? wilt thou takeH3947(QalImpf) him for a servantH5650 for ever?H5769 [5] Wilt thou playH7832(PielImpf) with him as [with] a bird?H6833 or wilt thou bindH7194(QalImpf) him for thy maidens?H5291 [6] Shall the companionsH2271 make a banquetH3739(QalImpf) of him? shall they partH2673(QalImpf) him among the merchants?H3669 [7] Canst thou fillH4390(PielImpf) his skinH5785 with barbed irons?H7905 or his headH7218 with fishH1709 spears?H6767 [8] LayH7760(QalImpv) thine handH3709 upon him, rememberH2142(QalImpv) the battle,H4421 do no more.H3254(HiphImpf) [9] Behold, the hopeH8431 of him is in vain:H3576(NiphPerf) shall not [one] be cast downH2904(HophImpf) even at the sightH4758 of him? [10] None [is so] fierceH393 that dare stir him up:H5782(QalImpf/Qere) who then is able to standH3320(HithImpf) beforeH6440 me? [11] Who hath preventedH6923(HiphPerf) me, that I should repayH7999(PielImpf) [him? whatsoever is] under the whole heavenH8064 is mine. [12] I will not concealH2790(HiphImpf) his parts,H907 nor his power,H1369 nor his comelyH2433 proportion.H6187 [13] Who can discoverH1540(PielPerf) the faceH6440 of his garment?H3830 [or] who can comeH935(QalImpf) [to him] with his doubleH3718 bridle?H7448 [14] Who can openH6605(PielPerf) the doorsH1817 of his face?H6440 his teethH8127 [are] terribleH367 round about.H5439 [15] [His] scalesH4043 [are his] pride,H1346 shut up togetherH5462(QalPasPtc) [as with] a closeH6862 seal.H2368 [16] OneH259 is so nearH5066(QalImpf) to another,H259 that no airH7307 can comeH935(QalImpf) between them. [17] They are joinedH1692(PualImpf) oneH376 to another,H251 they stick together,H3920(HithImpf) that they cannot be sundered.H6504(HithImpf) [18] By his neesingsH5846 a lightH216 doth shine,H1984(HiphImpf) and his eyesH5869 [are] like the eyelidsH6079 of the morning.H7837 [19] Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980(QalImpf) burning lamps,H3940 [and] sparksH3590 of fireH784 leap out.H4422(HithImpf) [20] Out of his nostrilsH5156 goethH3318(QalImpf) smoke,H6227 as [out] of a seethingH5301(QalPasPtc) potH1731 or caldron.H100 [21] His breathH5315 kindlethH3857(PielImpf) coals,H1513 and a flameH3851 goeth outH3318(QalImpf) of his mouth.H6310 [22] In his neckH6677 remainethH3885(QalImpf) strength,H5797 and sorrowH1670 is turned into joyH1750(QalImpf) beforeH6440 him. [23] The flakesH4651 of his fleshH1320 are joined together:H1692(QalPerf) they are firmH3332(QalPasPtc) in themselves; they cannot be moved.H4131(NiphImpf) [24] His heartH3820 is as firmH3332(QalPasPtc) as a stone;H68 yea, as hardH3332(QalPasPtc) as a pieceH6400 of the netherH8482 [millstone]. [25] When he raiseth upH7613 himself, the mightyH352 are afraid:H1481(QalImpf) by reason of breakingsH7667 they purifyH2398(HithImpf) themselves. [26] The swordH2719 of him that layethH5381(HiphPtc) at him cannot hold:H6965(QalImpf) the spear,H2595 the dart,H4551 nor the habergeon.H8302 [27] He esteemethH2803(QalImpf) ironH1270 as straw,H8401 [and] brassH5154 as rottenH7539 wood.H6086 [28] The arrowH1121 cannot make him flee:H1272(HiphImpf) slingstonesH68 are turnedH2015(NiphPerf) with him into stubble.H7179 [29] DartsH8455 are countedH2803(NiphPerf) as stubble:H7179 he laughethH7832(QalImpf) at the shakingH7494 of a spear.H3591 [30] SharpH2303 stonesH2789 [are] under him: he spreadethH7502(QalImpf) sharp pointed thingsH2742 upon the mire.H2916 [31] He maketh the deepH4688 to boilH7570(HiphImpf) like a pot:H5518 he makethH7760(QalImpf) the seaH3220 like a pot of ointment.H4841 [32] He maketh a pathH5410 to shineH215(HiphImpf) afterH310 him; [one] would thinkH2803(QalImpf) the deepH8415 [to be] hoary.H7872 [33] Upon earthH6083 there is not his like,H4915 who is madeH6213(QalPasPtc) withoutH1097 fear.H2844 [34] He beholdethH7200(QalImpf) all highH1364 [things]: he [is] a kingH4428 over all the childrenH1121 of pride.H7830
