YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Dost
thou
draw
leviathan with an
angle?
And
with
a rope
thou
lettest
down --
his tongue?
“Can
you
pull
in
Leviathan with a hook
or
tie
down his tongue with
a
rope
?
Dost
thou
put a reed
in
his nose ?
And
with
a
thorn
pierce his jaw?
Can
you
put a cord
through
his nose or
pierce his jaw with
a
hook
?
Doth
he
multiply
unto
thee
supplications?
Doth
he speak unto
thee
tender
things
?
Will
he beg
you
for
mercy
or
speak to
you
softly
?
Doth
he make a covenant with thee?
Dost
thou
take him for
a servant
age-during
?
Will
he make a covenant with you
to
take him as
a slave
for
life
?
Dost
thou
play
with
him as
a bird ?
And
dost
thou
bind
him for thy
damsels
?
Can
you
pet
him like
a bird or
put
him on
a
leash
for your
maidens
?
(Feast
upon
him do
companions,
They
divide him among the merchants !)
Will
traders
barter
for
him or
divide him among the merchants ?
Dost
thou
fill with
barbed
irons
his skin?
And
with fish-spears
his head?
Can
you
fill his hide
with harpoons
or
his head with
fishing
spears
?
Place
on him thy
hand
, Remember the battle --
do
not
add
!
If
you
lay
a
hand
on him, you
will
remember the battle and
never
repeat
it
!
Lo,
the
hope of him is found
a
liar,
Also
at
his
appearance
is not one
cast
down
?
Surely
hope of overcoming
him is false.
Is not the
sight
of
him
overwhelming
?
None
so fierce that
he
doth
awake
him,
And
who `
is '
he
before
Me stationeth
himself
?
No
one
is
so fierce as
to
rouse
Leviathan.
Then
who is able
to
stand
against
Me?
Who hath
brought
before
Me and
I repay? Under the
whole
heavens
it
`
is '
mine.
Who has
given
to
Me that
I should
repay him
? Everything
under heaven
is Mine.
I do
not
keep silent concerning
his parts,
And
the
matter
of
might
, And
the
grace
of
his arrangement
.
I cannot
keep silent about
his limbs
, his power
and
graceful
form
.
Who hath
uncovered
the
face
of
his clothing
? Within
his
double
bridle
who doth
enter
?
Who can
strip
off
his outer
coat
? Who can
approach
him
with
a
bridle
?
The
doors
of
his
face
who hath
opened?
Round
about
his teeth `are'
terrible.
Who can
open
his jaws,
ringed
by
his
fearsome
teeth ?
A
pride
--
strong
ones
of shields
, Shut
up
--
a
close
seal
.
His
rows
of scales
are
his
pride
, tightly
sealed
together
.
One unto
another they
draw
nigh,
And
air doth
not
enter
between them.
One scale
is
so
near
to
another that
no
air can
pass
between them.
One unto
another they
adhere,
They stick
together
and are
not
separated.
They
are
joined
to
one another ;
they clasp
and cannot
be
separated.
His sneezings
cause
light to
shine
, And his eyes `
are '
as
the eyelids
of the
dawn.
His snorting
flashes
with
light, and his eyes are like
the rays
of dawn.
Out
of
his mouth do
flames
go,
sparks of
fire
escape.
Firebrands
stream
from
his mouth ;
fiery
sparks shoot
forth!
Out
of
his nostrils goeth
forth
smoke,
As a blown
pot and
reeds.
Smoke
billows
from
his nostrils as from
a boiling
pot over
burning
reeds.
His breath setteth
coals on
fire
, And a
flame
from his mouth goeth
forth
.
His breath sets
coals ablaze
, and flames
pour
from his mouth.
In his neck lodge
doth
strength
, And before him doth
grief
exult
.
Strength
resides
in his neck, and dismay
leaps
before him.
The flakes
of his flesh have
adhered
--
Firm upon
him
--
it
is
not
moved
.
The folds
of his flesh are
tightly
joined;
they
are
firm and
immovable
.
His heart
`
is '
firm
as a stone,
Yea
, firm
as the
lower piece.
His chest
is as hard
as
a rock
, as hard
as
a
lower millstone!
From
his
rising
are
the mighty afraid,
From
breakings
they keep
themselves
free
.
When
Leviathan
rises
up,
the mighty are
terrified;
they withdraw
before
his
thrashing
.
The sword of
his
overtaker
standeth
not
, Spear --
dart --
and
lance
.
The sword that
reaches
him
has
no
effect
, nor
does
the
spear or
dart or
arrow
.
He reckoneth
iron as straw ,
brass
as rotten wood.
He regards
iron as straw and
bronze
as rotten wood.
The
son
of
the
bow
doth
not
cause
him to
flee ,
Turned
by
him into
stubble
are
stones
of
the
sling
.
No
arrow
can
make
him flee ;
slingstones
become
like
chaff
to
him.
As stubble
have
darts
been
reckoned
, And he laugheth
at the shaking
of a
javelin
.
A
club
is
regarded
as straw
, and he laughs
at the sound
of the
lance
.
Under
him
`
are '
sharp
points
of
clay
, He
spreadeth
gold
on
the mire
.
His
undersides
are jagged
potsherds
, spreading
out
the mud
like
a
threshing
sledge
.
He causeth
to
boil
as
a
pot
the deep,
The sea he
maketh
as
a pot
of ointment.
He makes
the depths
seethe
like
a
cauldron;
he
makes
the sea like
a jar
of ointment.
After
him
he causeth
a path
to
shine,
One thinketh
the deep to
be
hoary.
He leaves
a glistening
wake
behind
him;
one would
think
the deep had
white
hair!
There
is
not
on the
earth his
like,
That
is made
without
terror.
Nothing
on earth is his
equal—
a
creature
devoid
of
fear!
Every
high
thing
he doth
see,
He `
is '
king over all sons
of
pride
.
He looks
down
on
all
the
haughty;
he is king over all the
proud
. ”
