1“Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie down his tongue with a rope?1תִּמְשֹׁ֣ךְ לִוְיָתָ֣ן בְּחַכָּ֑ה וּ֝בְחֶ֗בֶל תַּשְׁקִ֥יעַ לְשֹׁנֽוֹ׃
2Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?2הֲתָשִׂ֣ים אַגְמ֣וֹן בְּאַפּ֑וֹ וּ֝בְח֗וֹחַ תִּקּ֥וֹב לֶֽחֱיוֹ׃
3Will he beg you for mercy or speak to you softly?3הֲיַרְבֶּ֣ה אֵ֭לֶיךָ תַּחֲנוּנִ֑ים אִם־ יְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלֶ֣יךָ רַכּֽוֹת׃
4Will he make a covenant with you to take him as a slave for life?4הֲיִכְרֹ֣ת בְּרִ֣ית עִמָּ֑ךְ תִּ֝קָּחֶ֗נּוּ לְעֶ֣בֶד עוֹלָֽם׃
5Can you pet him like a bird or put him on a leash for your maidens?5הַֽתְשַׂחֶק־ בּ֭וֹ כַּצִּפּ֑וֹר וְ֝תִקְשְׁרֶ֗נּוּ לְנַעֲרוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
6Will traders barter for him or divide him among the merchants?6יִכְר֣וּ עָ֭לָיו חַבָּרִ֑ים יֶ֝חֱצ֗וּהוּ בֵּ֣ין כְּֽנַעֲנִֽים׃
7Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?7הַֽתְמַלֵּ֣א בְשֻׂכּ֣וֹת עוֹר֑וֹ וּבְצִלְצַ֖ל דָּגִ֣ים רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃
8If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it!8שִׂים־ עָלָ֥יו כַּפֶּ֑ךָ זְכֹ֥ר מִ֝לְחָמָ֗ה אַל־ תּוֹסַֽף׃
9Surely hope of overcoming him is false. Is not the sight of him overwhelming?9הֵן־ תֹּחַלְתּ֥וֹ נִכְזָ֑בָה הֲגַ֖ם אֶל־ מַרְאָ֣יו יֻטָֽל׃
10No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me?10לֹֽא־ אַ֭כְזָר כִּ֣י יְעוּרֶ֑נּוּ וּמִ֥י ה֝֗וּא לְפָנַ֥י יִתְיַצָּֽב׃
11Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.11מִ֣י הִ֭קְדִּימַנִי וַאֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם תַּ֖חַת כָּל־ הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם לִי־ הֽוּא׃
12I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form.12[לא־] (לֽוֹ־) אַחֲרִ֥ישׁ בַּדָּ֑יו וּדְבַר־ גְּ֝בוּר֗וֹת וְחִ֣ין עֶרְכּֽוֹ׃
13Who can strip off his outer coat? Who can approach him with a bridle?13מִֽי־ גִ֭לָּה פְּנֵ֣י לְבוּשׁ֑וֹ בְּכֶ֥פֶל רִ֝סְנ֗וֹ מִ֣י יָבֽוֹא׃
14Who can open his jaws, ringed by his fearsome teeth?14דַּלְתֵ֣י פָ֭נָיו מִ֣י פִתֵּ֑חַ סְבִיב֖וֹת שִׁנָּ֣יו אֵימָֽה׃
15His rows of scales are his pride, tightly sealed together.15גַּ֭אֲוָה אֲפִיקֵ֣י מָֽגִנִּ֑ים סָ֝ג֗וּר חוֹתָ֥ם צָֽר׃
16One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.16אֶחָ֣ד בְּאֶחָ֣ד יִגַּ֑שׁוּ וְ֝ר֗וּחַ לֹא־ יָב֥וֹא בֵֽינֵיהֶֽם׃
17They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.17אִישׁ־ בְּאָחִ֥יהוּ יְדֻבָּ֑קוּ יִ֝תְלַכְּד֗וּ וְלֹ֣א יִתְפָּרָֽדוּ׃
18His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.18עֲ‍ֽ֭טִישֹׁתָיו תָּ֣הֶל א֑וֹר וְ֝עֵינָ֗יו כְּעַפְעַפֵּי־ שָֽׁחַר׃
19Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth!19מִ֭פִּיו לַפִּידִ֣ים יַהֲלֹ֑כוּ כִּיד֥וֹדֵי אֵ֝֗שׁ יִתְמַלָּֽטוּ׃
20Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.20מִ֭נְּחִירָיו יֵצֵ֣א עָשָׁ֑ן כְּד֖וּד נָפ֣וּחַ וְאַגְמֹֽן׃
21His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.21נַ֭פְשׁוֹ גֶּחָלִ֣ים תְּלַהֵ֑ט וְ֝לַ֗הַב מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא׃
22Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.22בְּֽ֭צַוָּארוֹ יָלִ֣ין עֹ֑ז וּ֝לְפָנָ֗יו תָּד֥וּץ דְּאָבָֽה׃
23The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.23מַפְּלֵ֣י בְשָׂר֣וֹ דָבֵ֑קוּ יָצ֥וּק עָ֝לָ֗יו בַּל־ יִמּֽוֹט׃
24His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!24לִ֭בּוֹ יָצ֣וּק כְּמוֹ־ אָ֑בֶן וְ֝יָצ֗וּק כְּפֶ֣לַח תַּחְתִּֽית׃
25When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing.25מִ֭שֵּׂתוֹ יָג֣וּרוּ אֵלִ֑ים מִ֝שְּׁבָרִ֗ים יִתְחַטָּֽאוּ׃
26The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow.26מַשִּׂיגֵ֣הוּ חֶ֭רֶב בְּלִ֣י תָק֑וּם חֲנִ֖ית מַסָּ֣ע וְשִׁרְיָֽה׃
27He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.27יַחְשֹׁ֣ב לְתֶ֣בֶן בַּרְזֶ֑ל לְעֵ֖ץ רִקָּב֣וֹן נְחוּשָֽׁה׃
28No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him.28לֹֽא־ יַבְרִיחֶ֥נּוּ בֶן־ קָ֑שֶׁת לְ֝קַ֗שׁ נֶהְפְּכוּ־ ל֥וֹ אַבְנֵי־ קָֽלַע׃
29A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound of the lance.29כְּ֭קַשׁ נֶחְשְׁב֣וּ תוֹתָ֑ח וְ֝יִשְׂחַ֗ק לְרַ֣עַשׁ כִּידֽוֹן׃
30His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge.30תַּ֭חְתָּיו חַדּ֣וּדֵי חָ֑רֶשׂ יִרְפַּ֖ד חָר֣וּץ עֲלֵי־ טִֽיט׃
31He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment.31יַרְתִּ֣יחַ כַּסִּ֣יר מְצוּלָ֑ה יָ֝֗ם יָשִׂ֥ים כַּמֶּרְקָחָֽה׃
32He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!32אַ֭חֲרָיו יָאִ֣יר נָתִ֑יב יַחְשֹׁ֖ב תְּה֣וֹם לְשֵׂיבָֽה׃
33Nothing on earth is his equal—a creature devoid of fear!33אֵֽין־ עַל־ עָפָ֥ר מָשְׁל֑וֹ הֶ֝עָשׂ֗וּ לִבְלִי־ חָֽת׃
34He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.”34אֵֽת־ כָּל־ גָּבֹ֥הַּ יִרְאֶ֑ה ה֝֗וּא מֶ֣לֶךְ עַל־ כָּל־ בְּנֵי־ שָֽׁחַץ׃ ס
