“Let those curse it who curse the day,
Who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.

Dost thou draw leviathan with an angle? And with a rope thou lettest down -- his tongue?

No one is ferocious enough to rouse Leviathan;
who then can stand against Me?

When Leviathan rises, the mighty are terrified;
they withdraw because of his thrashing.

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

There go the ships over, and there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made, to take his pastime therein.

In that day, will Yahweh With his sword - the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent, - And will slay the monster which is in the sea.
