1. Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook,restrain his tongue with a rope?
2. Can you put a cord through his nose,pierce his jaw with a barb?
3. Will he beg you at lengthor speak gentle words to you?
4. Will he make a pact with youso that you will take him as a permanent slave?
5. Can you play with him like a bird,put a leash on him for your girls?
6. Will merchants sell him;will they divide him among traders?
7. Can you fill his hide with darts,his head with a fishing spear?
8. Should you lay your hand on him,you would never remember the battle.
9. Such hopes would be delusional;surely the sight of him makes one stumble.
10. Nobody is fierce enough to rouse him;who then can stand before me?
11. Who opposes me that I must repay?Everything under heaven is mine.
12. I’m not awed by his limbs,his strength, and impressive form.
