1Can youⁱ draw out Livyatan [sea monster, dragon] with an hook? or his tongue with a cord [which] youⁱ let down?

2Can youⁱ put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

3Will he make many supplications unto youⁱ? will he speak soft [words] unto youⁱ?

4Will he make a covenant with youⁱ? will youⁱ take him for a servant forever?

5Will youⁱ play with him as [with] a bird? or will youⁱ bind him for youⁱ maidens?

6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

7Can youⁱ fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

8Lay youⁱ hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him?

10None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

11Who has prevented me, that I should repay [him? whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is my.

12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely (attractive; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular); becoming) proportion.

13Who can discover (uncover; reveal; have first sight of) the face of his garment? [or] who can come [to him] with his double bridle?

14Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth [are] terrible round about.

15[His] scales [are his] pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.

16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

17They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

18By his snortings a light does shine, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning.

19Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire leap out.

20Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron.

21His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

22In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

23The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

24His heart is as firm as a stone; yes, as hard as a piece of the lower [millstone].

25When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

26The sword of him that lays at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon (coat of mail for the neck and down).

27He esteems iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.

28The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

29Darts are counted as stubble: he laughs at the shaking of a spear.

30Sharp stones [are] under him: he spreads sharp pointed things upon the mire.

31He makes the deep to boil like a pot: he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.

32He makes a path to shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be] white colored (white or gray with age).

33Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

34He beholds all high [things]: he [is] a king over all the children of pride.
