1. Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook or with the cord which thou lettest down on his tongue?
2. Canst thou put a hook into his nose or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3. Will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft words unto thee?
4. Will he make a covenant with thee that thou shall take him for a slave for ever?
5. Wilt thou play with him as with a bird, or wilt thou tie him up for thy maidens?
6. Shall the companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part him among the merchants?
7. Canst thou cut his skin with knives or his head with a fish spear?
8. Lay thine hand upon him; thou shalt remember the battle and do no more.
