"Can you place a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with an arm band? "
— Job 40:21, Catholic Public Domain Version
“He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.”
“He lieth under the lotus-trees, In the covert of the reed, and the fen. ”
“He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.”
“Under the lotus trees it lies, in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh.”
“Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?”
“He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants.”
“He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.”
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?
Will you play with him as with a bird, or tether him for your handmaids?
