| 1 | Canst thou draw out Leuiathan with an hooke? or his tongue with a corde which thou lettest downe? |
| 2 | Canst thou put an hooke into his nose? or bore his iawe through with a thorne? |
| 3 | Will he make many supplications vnto thee? will he speake soft words vnto thee? |
| 4 | Will he make a couenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a seruant for euer? |
| 5 | Wilt thou play with him as with a birde? wilt thou binde him for thy maydens? |
| 6 | Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? |
| 7 | Canst thou fill his skinne with barbed irons? or his head with fishspeares? |
| 8 | Lay thine hand vpon him, remember the battell: doe no more. |
| 9 | Behold, the hope of him is in vaine: shall not one be cast downe euen at the sight of him? |
| 10 | None is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: who then is able to stand before me? |
| 11 | Who hath preuented me that I should repay him? whatsoeuer is vnder the whole heauen, is mine. |
| 12 | I will not conceale his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. |
| 13 | Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who can come to him, with his double bridle? |
| 14 | Who can open the doores of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. |
| 15 | His scales are his pride, shut vp together as with a close seale. |
| 16 | One is so neere to another, that no ayre can come betweene them. |
| 17 | They are ioyned one to another, they sticke together, that they cannot be sundred. |
| 18 | By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eye-liddes of the morning. |
| 19 | Out of his mouth goe burning lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out. |
| 20 | Out of his nostrels goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. |
| 21 | His breath kindleth coales, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. |
| 22 | In his necke remaineth strength, and sorrowe is turned into ioy before him. |
| 23 | The flakes of his flesh are ioyned together: they are firme in themselues, they cannot be moued. |
| 24 | His heart is as firme as a stone, yea as hard as a peece of the nether mil-stone. |
| 25 | When he rayseth vp himselfe, the mightie are afraid: by reason of breakings they purifie themselues. |
| 26 | The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the speare, the dart, nor the habergeon. |
| 27 | He esteemeth iron as straw, and brasse as rotten wood. |
| 28 | The arrow cannot make him flee: sling-stones are turned with him into stubble. |
| 29 | Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a speare. |
| 30 | Sharpe stones are vnder him: he spreadeth sharpe pointed things vpon the mire. |
| 31 | He maketh the deepe to boyle like a pot: hee maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment. |
| 32 | Hee maketh a path to shine after him; one would thinke the deepe to bee hoarie. |
| 33 | Upon earth there is not his like: who is made without feare. |
| 34 | He beholdeth all high things: he is a king ouer all the children of pride. |
