Job 40:15-24
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Surely the mountains bring him forth grass, where all the beasts of the field play.
16 Lieth he under the trees in the covert of the reed and fens?
17 Can the trees cover him with their shadow? or can the willows of the river compass him about?
18 Behold, he spoileth the river, [a]and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
19 He taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoever meeteth him.
20 ¶ Canst thou draw out [b]Leviathan with an hook, and with a line which thou shalt cast down unto his tongue?
21 Canst thou cast an hook into his nose? canst thou [c]pierce his jaws with an angle?
22 Will he make many prayers unto thee? and speak thee fair?
23 Will he make a covenant with thee? and wilt thou take [d]him as a servant forever?
24 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maids?
