[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 out H4900 leviathan H3882ⓘ with an hook? H2443
Or his tongue H3956 with a cord H2256 which thou lettest down? H8257§
[2] Canst thou put H7760 an hook H100 into his nose? H639
Or bore H5344 his jaw H3895 through with a thorn? H2336
[3] Will he make many H7235 supplications H8469 unto H413 thee?
Will he speak H1696 soft H7390 words unto thee?
[4] Will he make H3772 a covenant H1285 with H5973 thee?
Wilt thou take H3947 him for a servant H5650 for ever? H5769
[5] Wilt thou play H7832 with him as with a bird? H6833
Or wilt thou bind H7194 him for thy maidens? H5291
[6] Shall the companions H2271 make a banquet H3739 of him?
Shall they part H2673 him among the merchants? H3669
[7] Canst thou fill H4390 his skin H5785 with barbed irons? H7905
Or his head H7218 with fish H1709 spears? H6767
[8] Lay H7760 thine hand H3709 upon H5921 him,
Remember H2142 the battle, H4421 do no more. H3254
[9] Behold, the hope H8431 of him is in vain: H3576
Shall not one be cast down H2904 even H1571 at the sight H4758 of him?
[10] None is so fierce H393 that dare stir him up: H5782
H5782 Who then is able to stand H3320 before H6440 me?
[11] Who hath prevented H6923 me, that I should repay H7999 him?
Whatsoever is under the whole heaven H8064 is mine.
[12] I will not conceal H2790 his parts, H907
Nor his power, H1369 H1697 nor his comely H2433 proportion. H6187
[13] Who can discover H1540 the face H6440 of his garment? H3830
Or who can come H935 to him with§ his double H3718 bridle? H7448
[14] Who can open H6605 the doors H1817 of his face? H6440
His teeth H8127 are terrible H367 round about. H5439
[15] His scales H4043§ H650 are his pride, H1346
Shut up together H5462 as with a close H6862 seal. H2368
[16] One H259 is so near H5066 to another, H259
That no air H7307 can come H935 between them.
[17] They are joined H1692 one H376 to another, H251
They stick together, H3920 that they cannot be sundered. H6504
[18] By his neesings H5846 a light H216 doth shine, H1984
And his eyes H5869 are like the eyelids H6079 of the morning. H7837
[19] Out of his mouth H6310 go H1980 burning lamps, H3940
And sparks H3590 of fire H784 leap out. H4422
[20] Out of his nostrils H5156 goeth H3318 smoke, H6227
As out of a seething H5301 pot H1731 or caldron. H100
[21] His breath H5315 kindleth H3857 coals, H1513
And a flame H3851 goeth out H3318 of his mouth. H6310
[22] In his neck H6677 remaineth H3885 strength, H5797
And sorrow H1670 is turned into joy H1750§ before H6440 him.
[23] The flakes H4651§ of his flesh H1320 are joined together: H1692
They are firm H3332 in themselves; they cannot be moved. H4131
[24] His heart H3820 is as firm H3332 as a stone; H68
Yea, as hard H3332 as a piece H6400 of the nether H8482 millstone.
[25] When he raiseth up H7613 himself, the mighty H352 are afraid: H1481
By reason of breakings H7667 they purify H2398 themselves.
[26] The sword H2719 of him that layeth H5381 at him cannot hold: H6965
The spear, H2595 the dart, H4551 nor the habergeon. H8302§
[27] He esteemeth H2803 iron H1270 as straw, H8401
And brass H5154 as rotten H7539 wood. H6086
[28] The arrow H1121 H7198 cannot make him flee: H1272
Slingstones H68 H7050 are turned H2015 with him into stubble. H7179
[29] Darts H8455 are counted H2803 as stubble: H7179
He laugheth H7832 at the shaking H7494 of a spear. H3591
[30] Sharp H2303 stones H2789§ are under him:
He spreadeth H7502 sharp pointed things H2742 upon H5921 the mire. H2916
[31] He maketh the deep H4688 to boil H7570 like a pot: H5518
He maketh H7760 the sea H3220 like a pot of ointment. H4841
[32] He maketh a path H5410 to shine H215 after H310 him;
One would think H2803 the deep H8415 to be hoary. H7872
[33] Upon H5921 earth H6083 there is not his like, H4915
Who is made H6213 without H1097 fear. H2844§
[34] He beholdeth H7200 all H3605 high H1364 things:
He is a king H4428 over H5921 all H3605 the children H1121 of pride. H7830
