"Will he offer many prayers to you, or speak to you quietly? "
— Job 40:22, Catholic Public Domain Version
“The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.”
“The lotus-trees cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook compass him about. ”
“The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.”
“The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it.”
“Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?”
“He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him.”
“The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.”
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?
Will your friends cut him into pieces, will dealers distribute him?
