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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 Lay youi hand upon 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? whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is my.

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

13 Who can discover (uncover; reveal; have first sight of) 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 snortings 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 lower [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 (coat of mail for the neck and down).

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

28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones 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 upon 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] white colored (white or gray with age).

33 Upon 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.
