1 أتصطاد لوياثان بشص او تضغط لسانه بحبل.2 أتضع أسلة في خطمه ام تثقب فكّه بخزامة.3 أيكثر التضرعات اليك ام يتكلم معك باللين.4 هل يقطع معك عهدا فتتخذه عبدا مؤبدا.5 أتلعب معه كالعصفور او تربطه لاجل فتياتك.6 هل تحفر جماعة الصيادين لاجله حفرة او يقسمونه بين الكنعانيين.7 أتملأ جلده حرابا وراسه بإلال السمك.8 ضع يدك عليه. لا تعد تذكر القتال.9 هوذا الرجاء به كاذب. ألا يكبّ ايضا برؤيته.10 ليس من شجاع يوقظه فمن يقف اذا بوجهي.11 من تقدمني فاوفيه. ما تحت كل السموات هو لي12 لا اسكت عن اعضائه وخبر قوته وبهجة عدّته.13 من يكشف وجه لبسه ومن يدنو من مثنى لجمته.14 من يفتح مصراعي فمه. دائرة اسنانه مرعبة.15 فخره مجان مانعة محكّمة مضغوطة بخاتم16 الواحد يمسّ الآخر فالريح لا تدخل بينها.17 كل منها ملتصق بصاحبه متلكّدة لا تنفصل.18 عطاسه يبعث نورا وعيناه كهدب الصبح.19 من فيه تخرج مصابيح. شرار نار تتطاير منه.20 من منخريه يخرج دخان كانه من قدر منفوخ او من مرجل.21 نفسه يشعل جمرا ولهيب يخرج من فيه.22 في عنقه تبيت القوة وامامه يدوس الهول.23 مطاوي لحمه متلاصقة مسبوكة عليه لا تتحرك.24 قلبه صلب كالحجر وقاس كالرحى.25 عند نهوضه تفزع الاقوياء. من المخاوف يتيهون26 سيف الذي يلحقه لا يقوم ولا رمح ولا مزراق ولا درع.27 يحسب الحديد كالتبن والنحاس كالعود النخر.28 لا يستفزّه نبل القوس. حجارة المقلاع ترجع عنه كالقش.29 يحسب المقمعة كقش ويضحك على اهتزاز الرمح.30 تحته قطع خزف حادة. يمدد نورجا على الطين.31 يجعل العمق يغلي كالقدر ويجعل البحر كقدر عطارة.32 يضيء السبيل وراءه فيحسب اللج اشيب.33 ليس له في الارض نظير. صنع لعدم الخوف.34 يشرف على كل متعال. هو ملك على كل بني الكبرياء

1 Can you draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?2 Can you put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?3 Will he make many supplications to you? will he speak soft words to you?4 Will he make a covenant with you? will you take him for a servant for ever?5 Will you play with him as with a bird? or will you bind him for your maidens?6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall 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, do no more.9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?11 Who has prevented me, that I should repay him? whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?14 Who 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.16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.18 By his neesings a light does shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.22 In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yes, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.25 When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.26 The sword of him that lays at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.27 He esteems iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.28 The arrow cannot make him flee: sling stones are turned with him into stubble.29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laughs at the shaking of a spear.30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreads sharp pointed things on the mire.31 He makes the deep to boil like a pot: he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.32 He makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.33 On earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.34 He beholds all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
