"Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, and can you bind his tongue with a cord?"
— Job 40:20, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.”
“Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the beasts of the field do play. ”
“Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.”
“For the hills bring it food, where all the wild animals play.”
“Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?”
“He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play.”
“Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.”
The shadows cover his shadow; the willows of the brook will encircle him.
Behold, he will drink a river and not be amazed, and he has confidence that the Jordan could flow into his mouth.
He will seize him through his eyes, as if with a hook, and he will bore through his nostrils, as if with stakes.
Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, and can you bind his tongue with a cord?
Can you place a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with an arm band?
Will he offer many prayers to you, or speak to you quietly?
Will he form a covenant with you, and will you accept him as a servant forever?
