Job 41:1-9

1(40:25) “Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook, and tie down its tongue with a rope?

2Can you put a cord through its nose, or pierce its jaw with a hook?

3Will it make numerous supplications to you, will it speak to you with tender words?

4Will it make a pact with you, so you could take it as your slave for life?

5Can you play with it, like a bird, or tie it on a leash for your girls?

6Will partners bargain for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants?

7Can you fill its hide with harpoons or its head with fishing spears?

8If you lay your hand on it, you will remember the fight, and you will never do it again!

9(41:1) See, his expectation is wrong, he is laid low even at the sight of it.
