Job 41:1-11

English Standard Version

41 ^[a] “Can you draw out ^(A)Leviathan^[b] with a fishhook
    or press down his tongue with a cord?
² Can you put ^(B)a rope in his nose
    or pierce his jaw with ^(C)a hook?
³ Will he make many pleas to you?
    Will he speak to you soft words?
⁴ Will he make a covenant with you
    to take him for ^(D)your servant forever?
⁵ Will you play with him as with a bird,
    or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
⁶ Will traders bargain over him?
    Will they divide him up among the merchants?
⁷ Can you fill his skin with harpoons
    or his head with fishing spears?
⁸ Lay your hands on him;
    remember the battle—you will not do it again!
^9 [c] Behold, the hope of a man is false;
    he is laid low even at the sight of him.
¹⁰ No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up.
    Who then is he who can stand before me?
^11 (E)Who has first given to me, that I should repay him?
    ^(F)Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
