¹⁴ και εξαναστησεται απωλεια εν τω λαω σου και παντα τα περιτετειχισμενα σου οιχησεται ως αρχων σαλαμαν εκ του οικου ιεροβααλ εν ημεραις πολεμου μητερα επι τεκνοις ηδαφισαν

¹ "Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook, or press down his tongue with a cord?

² Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?

³ Will he make many petitions to you, or will he speak soft words to you?

⁴ Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?

⁵ Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your girls?

⁶ Will traders barter for him? Will they part him among the merchants?

⁷ Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears?

⁸ Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.

⁹ Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won't one be cast down even at the sight of him?

¹⁰ None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?

¹¹ Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.
