¹ "Can you catch Leviathan^[a] on a fishhook
    or tie its tongue down with a rope?
² Can you put a cord through its nose
    or a hook in its jaw?
³ Will it keep begging you for mercy
    and speak to you with gentle words?
⁴ Will it make an agreement with you
    and let you take it as your slave for life?
⁵ Can you make a pet of Leviathan as you would a bird
    or put it on a leash for your girls?
⁶ Will traders try to bargain with you for it?
    Will they divide it up among the merchants?
⁷ Can you stick darts all over its skin
    or fill its head with fishing spears?
⁸ If you put one hand on it,
    you will never forget the battle,
    and you will never do it again!
⁹ There is no hope of defeating it;
    just seeing it overwhelms people.
¹⁰ No one is brave enough to make it angry,
    so who would be able to stand up against me?
¹¹ No one has ever given me anything that I must pay back,
    because everything under the sky belongs to me.

¹² "I will speak about Leviathan's arms and legs,
    its great strength and well-formed body.
¹³ No one can tear off its outer hide
    or poke through its double armor.
¹⁴ No one can force open its great jaws;
    they are filled with frightening teeth.
¹⁵ It has rows of shields on its back
    that are tightly sealed together.
¹⁶ Each shield is so close to the next one
    that no air can go between them.
¹⁷ They are joined strongly to one another;
    they hold on to each other and cannot be separated.
¹⁸ When it snorts, flashes of light are thrown out,
    and its eyes look like the light at dawn.
¹⁹ Flames blaze from its mouth;
    sparks of fire shoot out.
²⁰ Smoke pours out of its nose,
    as if coming from a large pot over a hot fire.
²¹ Its breath sets coals on fire,
    and flames come out of its mouth.
²² There is great strength in its neck.
    People are afraid and run away.
²³ The folds of its skin are tightly joined;
    they are set and cannot be moved.
²⁴ Its chest is as hard as a rock,
    even as hard as a grinding stone.
²⁵ The powerful fear its terrible looks
    and draw back in fear as it moves.
²⁶ The sword that hits it does not hurt it,
    nor the arrows, darts, and spears.
²⁷ It treats iron as if it were straw
    and bronze metal as if it were rotten wood.
²⁸ It does not run away from arrows;
    stones from slings are like chaff to it.
²⁹ Clubs feel like pieces of straw to it,
    and it laughs when they shake a spear at it.
³⁰ The underside of its body is like broken pieces of pottery.
    It leaves a trail in the mud like a threshing board.
³¹ It makes the deep sea bubble like a boiling pot;
    it stirs up the sea like a pot of oil.
³² When it swims, it leaves a shining path in the water
    that makes the sea look as if it had white hair.
³³ Nothing else on earth is equal to it;
    it is a creature without fear.
³⁴ It looks down on all those who are too proud;
    it is king over all proud creatures."
