Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth?

Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him as a bondman for ever?

Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

Darest thou lay hand upon him? It is better for thee to consider what harm might happen thee therethrough, and not to touch him.

Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

I will not be silent as to his parts, the story of his power, and the beauty of his structure.

Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.

His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

Each is attached to the other, grasping each other so they cannot be separated.

His sneezings cause light to shine, And his eyes are as the eyelids of the dawn.

Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

The flakes of his flesh have adhered -- Firm upon him -- it is not moved.

His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

When he rears up, the mighty are terrified; they are bewildered as he thrashes about.

The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron.

He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

“The arrow cannot make him flee;
Slingstones are treated as stubble by him.

Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

His underparts are like'sharp potsherds: He spreadeth as it were a threshing-wain upon the mire.

He causeth to boil as a pot the deep, The sea he maketh as a pot of ointment.

After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white.

Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

Thou hast known that for all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is any device:

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

As the kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and his anointed one, they say,

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.

"But as for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

As for me, I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto me, "Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

‘Ask of Me, and I will assuredly give [You] the nations as Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth as Your possession.

Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

My voice is unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Ye sons of men, till when is my glory to be put to shame? How long will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

Tremble with fear and do not sin! Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! (Selah)

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for it is thou, LORD, only that makest me dwell in safety.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil [person] dwells with You.

Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight, for thou hatest all them that work vanity.

You will send destruction on those whose words are false; the cruel man and the man of deceit are hated by the Lord.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

Treat them as guilty, O God; let them fall because of their plans. Because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Be gracious to me, LORD, because I am fading away. Heal me, because my body is distressed.

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

As for all my enemies, they will be put to shame; they will be greatly frightened and suddenly turn away ashamed. A Davidic psalm, which he sang to the LORD, because of the words of Cush the descendant of Benjamin.

O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

He prepares to use deadly weapons against him; he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows.

Behold, the [wicked and irreverent] man is pregnant with sin,
And he conceives mischief and gives birth to lies.

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

But as for me, I will praise the LORD for his righteousness, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High. To the Director: On a stringed instrument. A Davidic Psalm.

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

all the sheep and oxen,
as well as the animals in the wild,

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

For You have upheld my just cause;
You are seated on Your throne as a righteous judge.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

Make songs of praise to the Lord, whose house is in Zion: make his doings clear to the people.

For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,

For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
