¹Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?2 sermons²Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?2 sermons³Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?2 sermons⁴Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?2 sermons⁵Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?2 sermons⁶Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?2 sermons⁷Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?2 sermons⁸Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.2 sermons⁹Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?2 sermons¹⁰None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?2 sermons¹¹Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.2 sermons¹²I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.2 sermons¹³Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?2 sermons¹⁴Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.2 sermons¹⁵His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.2 sermons¹⁶One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.2 sermons¹⁷They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.2 sermons¹⁸By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.3 sermons¹⁹Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.3 sermons²⁰Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.2 sermons²¹His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.2 sermons²²In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.2 sermons²³The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.2 sermons²⁴His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.2 sermons²⁵When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.2 sermons²⁶The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.2 sermons²⁷He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.2 sermons²⁸The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.2 sermons²⁹Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.2 sermons³⁰Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.2 sermons³¹He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.2 sermons³²He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.2 sermons³³Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.2 sermons³⁴He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.2 sermons
