Job 41:1-11

New King James Version

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?
³ Will he make many supplications to you?
Will he speak softly to you?
⁴ Will he make a covenant with you?
Will you take him as a servant forever?
⁵ Will you play with him as with a bird,
Or will you leash him for your maidens?
⁶ Will your companions ^[c]make a banquet of him?
Will they apportion him among the merchants?
⁷ Can you fill his skin with harpoons,
Or his head with fishing spears?
⁸ Lay your hand on him;
Remember the battle—
Never do it again!
⁹ Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false;
Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?
¹⁰ No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.
Who then is able to stand against Me?
^11 (C)Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him?
^(D)Everything under heaven is Mine.
