Can You Draw Out Leviathan?
“Can you draw out aLeviathan with a fishhook?
Or press down its tongue with a cord?
2 Can you aput a rope in its nose
Or pierce its jaw with a hook?
3 Will it make many supplications to you,
Or will he speak to you soft words?
4 Will it cut a covenant with you?
Will you take it for a slave forever?
5 Will you play with it as with a bird,
Or will you bind it for your young women?
6 Will the traders bargain over it?
Will they divide it among the merchants?
7 Can you fill its skin with harpoons,
Or its head with fishing spears?
8 Place your hand on it;
Remember the battle; you will not do that again!
9 Behold, his expectation is a lie;
Will he be laid low even at the sight of it?
