Job 41:1-25

Can you pull in Leviathan  with a hook  or tie his tongue down with a rope? Can you put a cord  through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?  Will he beg you for mercy or speak softly to you? Will he make a covenant with you so that you can take him as a slave forever?  Can you play with him like a bird or put him on a leash  for your girls? Will traders bargain for him or divide him among the merchants? Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears? Lay a  hand on him. You will remember the battle and never repeat it! Any hope of capturing him proves false. Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him? No one is ferocious enough to rouse Leviathan;  who then can stand against me? Who confronted me, that I should repay him? Everything under heaven belongs to me.  I cannot be silent about his limbs, his power, and his graceful proportions. Who can strip off his outer covering? Who can penetrate his double layer of armor?  , Who can open his jaws,  surrounded by those terrifying teeth? His pride is in his rows of scales, closely sealed together. One scale is so close to another  that no air can pass between them. They are joined to one another, so closely connected  they cannot be separated. His snorting  flashes with light, while his eyes are like the rays  of dawn. Flaming torches shoot from his mouth; fiery sparks fly out! Smoke billows from his nostrils  as from a boiling pot or burning reeds. His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour out of his mouth. Strength resides in his neck, and dismay dances before him. The folds of his flesh are joined together, solid as metal  and immovable. His heart is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone! When Leviathan rises, the mighty  are terrified; they withdraw because of his thrashing.
