⁴ But ^(A)I will put hooks in your jaws,
And cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales;
I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers,
And all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales.

²⁸ Because your rage against Me and your tumult
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore ^(A)I will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will turn you back
^(B)By the way which you came.

¹⁴ Why do You make men like fish of the sea,
Like creeping things that have no ruler over them?

^2 (A)The Lord God has sworn by His holiness:
“Behold, the days shall come upon you
When He will take you away ^(B)with fishhooks,
And your posterity with fishhooks.

²⁹ Because your rage against Me and your tumult
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore ^(A)I will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will ^(B)turn you back
By the way which you came.” ’

41 “Can you draw out ^(A)Leviathan^[a] with a hook,
Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
² Can you ^(B)put a reed through his nose,
Or pierce his jaw with a ^[b]hook?
