1“Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?1תִּמְשֹׁ֣ךְ לִוְיָתָ֣ן בְּחַכָּ֑ה וּ֝בְחֶ֗בֶל תַּשְׁקִ֥יעַ לְשֹׁנֽוֹ׃
2Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook?2הֲתָשִׂ֣ים אַגְמ֣וֹן בְּאַפּ֑וֹ וּ֝בְח֗וֹחַ תִּקּ֥וֹב לֶֽחֱיוֹ׃
3Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you?3הֲיַרְבֶּ֣ה אֵ֭לֶיךָ תַּחֲנוּנִ֑ים אִם־ יְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלֶ֣יךָ רַכּֽוֹת׃
4Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever?4הֲיִכְרֹ֣ת בְּרִ֣ית עִמָּ֑ךְ תִּ֝קָּחֶ֗נּוּ לְעֶ֣בֶד עוֹלָֽם׃
5Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens?5הַֽתְשַׂחֶק־ בּ֭וֹ כַּצִּפּ֑וֹר וְ֝תִקְשְׁרֶ֗נּוּ לְנַעֲרוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
6Will your companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants?6יִכְר֣וּ עָ֭לָיו חַבָּרִ֑ים יֶ֝חֱצ֗וּהוּ בֵּ֣ין כְּֽנַעֲנִֽים׃
7Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?7הַֽתְמַלֵּ֣א בְשֻׂכּ֣וֹת עוֹר֑וֹ וּבְצִלְצַ֖ל דָּגִ֣ים רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃
8Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle— Never do it again!8שִׂים־ עָלָ֥יו כַּפֶּ֑ךָ זְכֹ֥ר מִ֝לְחָמָ֗ה אַל־ תּוֹסַֽף׃
9Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false; Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?9הֵן־ תֹּחַלְתּ֥וֹ נִכְזָ֑בָה הֲגַ֖ם אֶל־ מַרְאָ֣יו יֻטָֽל׃
10No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me?10לֹֽא־ אַ֭כְזָר כִּ֣י יְעוּרֶ֑נּוּ וּמִ֥י ה֝֗וּא לְפָנַ֥י יִתְיַצָּֽב׃
11Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.11מִ֣י הִ֭קְדִּימַנִי וַאֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם תַּ֖חַת כָּל־ הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם לִי־ הֽוּא׃
12“I will not conceal his limbs, His mighty power, or his graceful proportions.12[לא־] (לֽוֹ־) אַחֲרִ֥ישׁ בַּדָּ֑יו וּדְבַר־ גְּ֝בוּר֗וֹת וְחִ֣ין עֶרְכּֽוֹ׃
13Who can remove his outer coat? Who can approach him with a double bridle?13מִֽי־ גִ֭לָּה פְּנֵ֣י לְבוּשׁ֑וֹ בְּכֶ֥פֶל רִ֝סְנ֗וֹ מִ֣י יָבֽוֹא׃
14Who can open the doors of his face, With his terrible teeth all around?14דַּלְתֵ֣י פָ֭נָיו מִ֣י פִתֵּ֑חַ סְבִיב֖וֹת שִׁנָּ֣יו אֵימָֽה׃
15His rows of scales are his pride, Shut up tightly as with a seal;15גַּ֭אֲוָה אֲפִיקֵ֣י מָֽגִנִּ֑ים סָ֝ג֗וּר חוֹתָ֥ם צָֽר׃
16One is so near another That no air can come between them;16אֶחָ֣ד בְּאֶחָ֣ד יִגַּ֑שׁוּ וְ֝ר֗וּחַ לֹא־ יָב֥וֹא בֵֽינֵיהֶֽם׃
17They are joined one to another, They stick together and cannot be parted.17אִישׁ־ בְּאָחִ֥יהוּ יְדֻבָּ֑קוּ יִ֝תְלַכְּד֗וּ וְלֹ֣א יִתְפָּרָֽדוּ׃
18His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.18עֲ‍ֽ֭טִישֹׁתָיו תָּ֣הֶל א֑וֹר וְ֝עֵינָ֗יו כְּעַפְעַפֵּי־ שָֽׁחַר׃
19Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out.19מִ֭פִּיו לַפִּידִ֣ים יַהֲלֹ֑כוּ כִּיד֥וֹדֵי אֵ֝֗שׁ יִתְמַלָּֽטוּ׃
20Smoke goes out of his nostrils, As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.20מִ֭נְּחִירָיו יֵצֵ֣א עָשָׁ֑ן כְּד֖וּד נָפ֣וּחַ וְאַגְמֹֽן׃
21His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes out of his mouth.21נַ֭פְשׁוֹ גֶּחָלִ֣ים תְּלַהֵ֑ט וְ֝לַ֗הַב מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא׃
22Strength dwells in his neck, And sorrow dances before him.22בְּֽ֭צַוָּארוֹ יָלִ֣ין עֹ֑ז וּ֝לְפָנָ֗יו תָּד֥וּץ דְּאָבָֽה׃
23The folds of his flesh are joined together; They are firm on him and cannot be moved.23מַפְּלֵ֣י בְשָׂר֣וֹ דָבֵ֑קוּ יָצ֥וּק עָ֝לָ֗יו בַּל־ יִמּֽוֹט׃
24His heart is as hard as stone, Even as hard as the lower millstone.24לִ֭בּוֹ יָצ֣וּק כְּמוֹ־ אָ֑בֶן וְ֝יָצ֗וּק כְּפֶ֣לַח תַּחְתִּֽית׃
25When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; Because of his crashings they are beside themselves.25מִ֭שֵּׂתוֹ יָג֣וּרוּ אֵלִ֑ים מִ֝שְּׁבָרִ֗ים יִתְחַטָּֽאוּ׃
26Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; Nor does spear, dart, or javelin.26מַשִּׂיגֵ֣הוּ חֶ֭רֶב בְּלִ֣י תָק֑וּם חֲנִ֖ית מַסָּ֣ע וְשִׁרְיָֽה׃
27He regards iron as straw, And bronze as rotten wood.27יַחְשֹׁ֣ב לְתֶ֣בֶן בַּרְזֶ֑ל לְעֵ֖ץ רִקָּב֣וֹן נְחוּשָֽׁה׃
28The arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones become like stubble to him.28לֹֽא־ יַבְרִיחֶ֥נּוּ בֶן־ קָ֑שֶׁת לְ֝קַ֗שׁ נֶהְפְּכוּ־ ל֥וֹ אַבְנֵי־ קָֽלַע׃
29Darts are regarded as straw; He laughs at the threat of javelins.29כְּ֭קַשׁ נֶחְשְׁב֣וּ תוֹתָ֑ח וְ֝יִשְׂחַ֗ק לְרַ֣עַשׁ כִּידֽוֹן׃
30His undersides are like sharp potsherds; He spreads pointed marks in the mire.30תַּ֭חְתָּיו חַדּ֣וּדֵי חָ֑רֶשׂ יִרְפַּ֖ד חָר֣וּץ עֲלֵי־ טִֽיט׃
31He makes the deep boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.31יַרְתִּ֣יחַ כַּסִּ֣יר מְצוּלָ֑ה יָ֝֗ם יָשִׂ֥ים כַּמֶּרְקָחָֽה׃
32He leaves a shining wake behind him; One would think the deep had white hair.32אַ֭חֲרָיו יָאִ֣יר נָתִ֑יב יַחְשֹׁ֖ב תְּה֣וֹם לְשֵׂיבָֽה׃
33On earth there is nothing like him, Which is made without fear.33אֵֽין־ עַל־ עָפָ֥ר מָשְׁל֑וֹ הֶ֝עָשׂ֗וּ לִבְלִי־ חָֽת׃
34He beholds every high thing; He is king over all the children of pride.”34אֵֽת־ כָּל־ גָּבֹ֥הַּ יִרְאֶ֑ה ה֝֗וּא מֶ֣לֶךְ עַל־ כָּל־ בְּנֵי־ שָֽׁחַץ׃ ס
