Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to arouse 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 the ships move about,
and Leviathan, which You formed to play there.

In that day Jehovah, with his sore and great and strong sword, will visit leviathan the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.
