² Can you put a cord through its nose^(A)
    or pierce its jaw with a hook?^(B)

²⁹ Because you rage against me
    and because your insolence^(A) has reached my ears,
I will put my hook^(B) in your nose^(C)
    and my bit in your mouth,
and I will make you return
    by the way you came.^(D)

⁴ But I will put hooks^(A) in your jaws
    and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams,
    with all the fish sticking to your scales.^(B)
5 I will leave you in the desert,
    you and all the fish of your streams.
You will fall on the open field
    and not be gathered^(C) or picked up.
I will give you as food
    to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the sky.^(D)

the Lord will punish with his sword^(B)—
    his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan^(C) the gliding serpent,^(D)
    Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster^(E) of the sea.

²⁸ Because you rage against me
    and because your insolence has reached my ears,
I will put my hook^(A) in your nose
    and my bit^(B) in your mouth,
and I will make you return^(C)
    by the way you came.’
