1Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord [which] thou lettest down? 2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? 3{\cf2 (40:22)} Will he make many prayers vnto thee, or speake thee faire? 4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? 5{\cf2 (40:24)} Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bynd him for thy maydes? 6{\cf2 (40:25)} Shall the companions baket with him? shal they deuide him among the marchants? 7{\cf2 (40:26)} Canst thou fill the basket with his skinne? or the fishpanier with his head? 8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him? 10None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? 11Who hath prevented me, that I should repay [him? whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine. 12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. 13Who can discover the face of his garment? [or] who can come [to him] with his double bridle? 14Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth [are] terrible round about. 15{\cf2 (41:6)} The maiestie of his scales is like strog shields, and are sure sealed. 16{\cf2 (41:7)} One is set to another, that no winde can come betweene them. 17{\cf2 (41:8)} One is ioyned to another: they sticke together, that they cannot be sundered. 18By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning. 19{\cf2 (41:10)} Out of his mouth go lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out. 20{\cf2 (41:11)} Out of his nostrels commeth out smoke, as out of a boyling pot or caldron. 21{\cf2 (41:12)} His breath maketh the coales burne: for a flame goeth out of his mouth. 22In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 23{\cf2 (41:14)} The members of his bodie are ioyned: they are strong in themselues, and cannot be mooued. 24{\cf2 (41:15)} His heart is as strong as a stone, & as hard as the nether milstone. 25{\cf2 (41:16)} The mightie are afrayd of his maiestie, and for feare they faint in themselues. 26{\cf2 (41:17)} When the sword doeth touch him, he will not rise vp, nor for the speare, dart nor habergeon. 27{\cf2 (41:18)} He esteemeth yron as strawe, and brasse as rotten wood. 28{\cf2 (41:19)} The archer canot make him flee: ye stones of the sling are turned into stubble vnto him: 29{\cf2 (41:20)} The dartes are counted as strawe: and hee laugheth at the shaking of the speare. 30Sharp stones [are] under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. 32He maketh a path to shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be] hoary. 33{\cf2 (41:24)} In the earth there is none like him: hee is made without feare. 34He beholdeth all high [things]: he [is] a king over all the children of pride.
