Job 41:1-9
1“1Can you drag out 23Leviathan with a fishhook, And press down his tongue with a rope?2Can you 4put a 5rope in his nose, And pierce his jaw with a 6hook?3Will he make many pleas to you, Or will he speak to you gentle words?4Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever?5Will you play with him as with a bird, And tie him down for your young girls?6Will the 7traders bargain for him? Will they divide him among the merchants?7Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?8Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle; 8you will not do it again!99Behold, 10your expectation is false; Will 11you be hurled down even at the sight of him?
