Job 41
Reading Job chapter 41 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 “Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook, 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 amongst 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?
