¹“Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook ²Can you put a cord through his nose ³Will he beg you for mercy ⁴Will he make a covenant with you ⁵Can you pet him like a bird ⁶Will traders barter for him ⁷Can you fill his hide with harpoons ⁸If you lay a hand on him, ⁹Surely hope of overcoming him is false. ¹⁰No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. ¹¹Who has given to Me that I should repay him? ¹²I cannot keep silent about his limbs, ¹³Who can strip off his outer coat? ¹⁴Who can open his jaws, ¹⁵His rows of scales are his pride, ¹⁶One scale is so near to another ¹⁷They are joined to one another; ¹⁸His snorting flashes with light, ¹⁹Firebrands stream from his mouth; ²⁰Smoke billows from his nostrils ²¹His breath sets coals ablaze, ²²Strength resides in his neck, ²³The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; ²⁴His chest is as hard as a rock, ²⁵When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; ²⁶The sword that reaches him has no effect, ²⁷He regards iron as straw ²⁸No arrow can make him flee; ²⁹A club is regarded as straw, ³⁰His undersides are jagged potsherds, ³¹He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; ³²He leaves a glistening wake behind him; ³³Nothing on earth is his equal— ³⁴He looks down on all the haughty;
