¹ Whether thou shalt be able to draw out Leviathan with an hook, and shalt bind with a rope his tongue?

² Whether thou shalt put a ring in his nostrils, either shalt pierce his cheek[bone] with an hook?

³ Whether he shall multiply prayers to thee, either shall speak soft things to thee?

⁴ Whether he shall make a covenant with thee, and shalt thou take him for a servant everlasting?

⁵ Whether thou shalt scorn him as a bird, either shalt thou bind him to thine handmaidens?

⁶ Shall friends carve him, shall merchants part him?

⁷ Whether thou shalt fill nets with his skin, and a fish basket with his head?

⁸ Shalt thou put thine hand upon him? have thou mind of the battle, and add thou no more to speak.

⁹ Lo! his hope shall deceive him; and in the sight of all men he shall be cast down.

¹⁰ I not as cruel shall raise him; for who may against-stand my face?

¹¹ And who gave to me before, that I yield to him? All things, that be under heaven, be mine.

¹² I shall not spare him for his mighty words, and made fair to beseech with.

¹³ Who shall show the face of his clothing, and who shall enter into the midst of his mouth?

¹⁴ Who shall open the gates of his cheer? fearedfulness is by the compass of his teeth.

¹⁵ His body is as molten shields of brass, and joined together with scales overlaying themselves.

¹⁶ One is joined to another; and soothly breathing goeth not through those [or them].

¹⁷ One shall cleave to another, and those pieces holding together them-selves shall not be parted.

¹⁸ His sneezing or snorting is as shining of fire, and his eyes be as eyelids of the morrowtide.

¹⁹ Lights come forth of his mouth, as brands of fire, that be kindled.

²⁰ Smoke cometh forth of his nostrils, as a boiling pot set upon the fire.

²¹ His breath maketh coals to burn, and flame goeth out of his mouth.

²² Strength shall dwell in his neck, and neediness shall go away from before his face.

²³ The members of his flesh be cleaving together to themselves; God shall send floods against him, and those [or they] shall not be borne over to another place.

²⁴ His heart shall be made hard as a stone; and it shall be constrained together as the anvil of a smith.

²⁵ When he shall be taken away, angels shall dread; and they afeared shall be purged.

²⁶ When sword taketh him, it may not stand, neither spear, neither habergeon.

²⁷ For he shall areckon iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.

²⁸ A man archer shall not drive him away; [the] stones of a sling be turned into stubble to him.

²⁹ He shall areckon an hammer as stubble; and he shall scorn a flourishing spear.

³⁰ The beams of the sun shall be under him; and he shall strew to him-self gold as clay.

³¹ He shall make the deep sea to boil as a pot; and he shall put it, as when ointments boil.

³² A path shall shine after him; he shall guess the great ocean as waxing eld [or old].

³³ No power there is on earth, that shall be comparisoned to him; which is made, that he should dread nothing.

³⁴ He seeth all high thing[s]; he is king over all the sons of pride.
