"Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook, and tie down its tongue with a rope? |
2
|
Can you put a cord through its nose, or pierce its jaw with a hook? |
3
|
Will it make numerous supplications to you, will it speak to you with tender words? |
4
|
Will it make a pact with you, so you could take it as your slave for life? |
5
|
Can you play with it, like a bird, or tie it on a leash for your girls? |
6
|
Will partners bargain for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants? |
7
|
Can you fill its hide with harpoons or its head with fishing spears? |
8
|
If you lay your hand on it, you will remember the fight, and you will never do it again! |
9
|
See, his expectation is wrong, he is laid low even at the sight of it. |
10
|
Is it not fierce when it is awakened? Who is he, then, who can stand before it? |
11
|
(Who has confronted me that I should repay? Everything under heaven belongs to me!) |
12
|
I will not keep silent about its limbs, and the extent of its might, and the grace of its arrangement. |
13
|
Who can uncover its outer covering? Who can penetrate to the inside of its armor? |
14
|
Who can open the doors of its mouth? Its teeth all around are fearsome. |
15
|
Its back has rows of shields, shut up closely together as with a seal; |
16
|
each one is so close to the next that no air can come between them. |
17
|
They lock tightly together, one to the next; they cling together and cannot be separated. |
18
|
Its snorting throws out flashes of light; its eyes are like the red glow of dawn. |
19
|
Out of its mouth go flames, sparks of fire shoot forth! |
20
|
Smoke streams from its nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning rushes. |
21
|
Its breath sets coals ablaze and a flame shoots from its mouth. |
22
|
Strength lodges in its neck, and despair runs before it. |
23
|
The folds of its flesh are tightly joined; they are firm on it, immovable. |
24
|
Its heart is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone. |
25
|
When it rises up, the mighty are terrified, at its thrashing about they withdraw. |
26
|
Whoever strikes it with a sword will have no effect, nor with the spear, arrow, or dart. |
27
|
It regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood. |
28
|
Arrows do not make it flee; slingstones become like chaff to it. |
29
|
A club is counted as a piece of straw; it laughs at the rattling of the lance. |
30
|
Its underparts are the sharp points of potsherds, it leaves its mark in the mud like a threshing sledge. |
31
|
It makes the deep boil like a cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment, |
32
|
It leaves a glistening wake behind it; one would think the deep had a head of white hair. |
33
|
The likes of it is not on earth, a creature without fear. |
34
|
It looks on every haughty being; it is king over all that are proud." |
