(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### The Description of Leviathan
[[#Verse 01.]] (40:25) “Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook,
and tie down its tongue with a rope?
[[#Verse 02.]]Â Can you put a cord through its nose,
or pierce its jaw with a hook?
[[#Verse 03.]]Â Will it make numerous supplications to you,
will it speak to you with tender words?
[[#Verse 04.]] Will it make a pact with you,
so you could take it as your slave for life?
[[#Verse 05.]] Can you play with it, like a bird,
or tie it on a leash for your girls?
[[#Verse 06.]] Will partners bargain for it?
Will they divide it up among the merchants?
[[#Verse 07.]]Â Can you fill its hide with harpoons
or its head with fishing spears?
[[#Verse 08.]]Â If you lay your hand on it,
you will remember the fight.
Do not do it again!
[[#Verse 09.]]Â (41:1)Â See, his expectation is wrong,
he is laid low even at the sight of it.
[[#Verse 10.]] Is it not fierce when it is awakened?
Who is he, then, who can stand before it?
[[#Verse 11.]] Who has confronted me that I should repay?
Everything under heaven belongs to me!
[[#Verse 12.]]Â I will not keep silent about its limbs,
and the extent of its might,
and the grace of its arrangement.
[[#Verse 13.]]Â Who can uncover its outer covering?
Who can penetrate to the inside of its armor?
[[#Verse 14.]]Â Who can open the doors of its mouth?
Its teeth all around are fearsome.
[[#Verse 15.]] Its back has rows of shields,
shut up closely together as with a seal;
[[#Verse 16.]]Â each one is so close to the next
that no air can come between them.
[[#Verse 17.]]Â They lock tightly together, one to the next;
they cling together and cannot be separated.
[[#Verse 18.]]Â Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
its eyes are like the red glow of dawn.
[[#Verse 19.]]Â Out of its mouth go flames,
sparks of fire shoot forth!
[[#Verse 20.]]Â Smoke streams from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning rushes.
[[#Verse 21.]]Â Its breath sets coals ablaze
and a flame shoots from its mouth.
[[#Verse 22.]]Â Strength lodges in its neck,
and despair runs before it.
[[#Verse 23.]] The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm on it, immovable.
[[#Verse 24.]] Its heart is hard as rock,
hard as a lower millstone.
[[#Verse 25.]]Â When it rises up, the mighty are terrified,
at its thrashing about they withdraw.
[[#Verse 26.]]Â Whoever strikes it with a sword
will have no effect,
nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.
[[#Verse 27.]]Â It regards iron as straw
and bronze as rotten wood.
[[#Verse 28.]] Arrows do not make it flee;
slingstones become like chaff to it.
[[#Verse 29.]] A club is counted as a piece of straw;
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
[[#Verse 30.]] Its underparts are the sharp points of potsherds,
it leaves its mark in the mud
like a threshing sledge.
[[#Verse 31.]]Â It makes the deep boil like a cauldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment,
[[#Verse 32.]]Â It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
one would think the deep had a head of white hair.
[[#Verse 33.]]Â The likes of it is not on earth,
a creature without fear.
[[#Verse 34.]]Â It looks on every haughty being;
it is king over all that are proud.”
