1
(40-20) Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?
2
(40-21) Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?
3
(40-22) Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?
4
(40-23) Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever,
5
(40-24) Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?
6
(40-25) Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?
7
(40-26) Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?
8
(40-27) Lay thy hand upon him: remember the battle, and speak no more.
9
(40-28) Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.
