41 "Can you catch Leviathan with a hook or put a noose around its jaw?H4900H3882H2443H3956H2256H82572Can you tie it with a rope through the nose or pierce its jaw with a spike?H7760H100H639H5344H3895H23363Will it beg you for mercy or implore you for pity?H7235H8469H1696H73904Will it agree to work for you, to be your slave for life?H3772H1285H3947H5650H57695Can you make it a pet like a bird, or give it to your little girls to play with?H7832H6833H7194H52916Will merchants try to buy it to sell it in their shops?H2271H3739H2673H36697Will its hide be hurt by spears or its head by a harpoon?H4390H5785H7905H7218H1709H67678If you lay a hand on it, you will certainly remember the battle that follows. You won't try that again!H7760H3709H2142H4421H32549No, it is useless to try to capture it. The hunter who attempts it will be knocked down.H8431H3576H2904H475810And since no one dares to disturb it, who then can stand up to me?H393H5782H5782H3320H644011Who has given me anything that I need to pay back? Everything under heaven is mine.H6923H7999H806412"I want to emphasize Leviathan's limbs and its enormous strength and graceful form.H2790H907H1369H1697H2433H618713Who can strip off its hide, and who can penetrate its double layer of armor?H1540H6440H3830H935H3718H744814Who could pry open its jaws? For its teeth are terrible!H6605H1817H6440H8127H367H543915Its scales are like rows of shields tightly sealed together.H4043H650H1346H5462H6862H236816They are so close together that no air can get between them.H259H5066H259H7307H93517Each scale sticks tight to the next. They interlock and cannot be penetrated.H1692H376H251H3920H650418"When it sneezes, it flashes light! Its eyes are like the red of dawn.H5846H216H1984H5869H6079H783719Lightning leaps from its mouth; flames of fire flash out.H6310H1980H3940H3590H784H442220Smoke streams from its nostrils like steam from a pot heated over burning rushes.H5156H3318H6227H5301H1731H10021Its breath would kindle coals, for flames shoot from its mouth.H5315H3857H1513H3851H3318H631022"The tremendous strength in Leviathan's neck strikes terror wherever it goes.H6677H3885H5797H1670H1750H644023Its flesh is hard and firm and cannot be penetrated.H4651H1320H1692H3332H413124Its heart is hard as rock, hard as a millstone.H3820H3332H68H3332H6400H848225When it rises, the mighty are afraid, gripped by terror.H7613H352H1481H7667H239826No sword can stop it, no spear, dart, or javelin.H2719H5381H6965H2595H4551H830227Iron is nothing but straw to that creature, and bronze is like rotten wood.H2803H1270H8401H5154H7539H608628Arrows cannot make it flee. Stones shot from a sling are like bits of grass.H1121H7198H1272H68H7050H2015H717929Clubs are like a blade of grass, and it laughs at the swish of javelins.H8455H2803H7179H7832H7494H359130Its belly is covered with scales as sharp as glass. It plows up the ground as it drags through the mud.H2303H2789H7502H2742H291631"Leviathan makes the water boil with its commotion. It stirs the depths like a pot of ointment.H4688H7570H5518H7760H3220H484132The water glistens in its wake, making the sea look white.H5410H215H310H2803H8415H787233Nothing on earth is its equal, no other creature so fearless.H6083H4915H6213H1097H284434Of all the creatures, it is the proudest. It is the king of beasts."H7200H1364H4428H1121H7830
