²⁶ There go the ships. There is leviathan, whom thou have formed to play in it.

²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kind. And it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, Let us make mankind in our image-after our likeness-and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. ²⁷ And God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them. ²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and have power over it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food, ³⁰ and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth in which there is life, for food-every green herb. And it was so. ³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

¹⁵ Behold now behemoth, which I made as well as thee. He eats grass as an ox.

¹ Can thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook, or press down his tongue with a cord? ² Can thou put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook? ³ Will he make many supplications to thee? Or will he speak soft words to thee? ⁴ Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou should take him for a servant forever? ⁵ Will thou play with him as with a bird? Or will thou bind him for thy maidens? ⁶ Will the bands make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants? ⁷ Can thou fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish-spears? ⁸ Lay thy hand upon him. Remember the battle, and do so no more. ⁹ Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Will not a man 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? ¹¹ Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Under the whole heaven is mine. ¹² I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame. ¹³ Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws? ¹⁴ Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror. ¹⁵ His strong scales are his pride, shut up together like a close seal. ¹⁶ One is so near to another that no air can come between them. ¹⁷ They are joined one to another. They stick together, so that they cannot be parted. ¹⁸ His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth. ²⁰ Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot and burning rushes. ²¹ His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes forth from his mouth. ²² In his neck abides strength, and terror dances before him. ²³ The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm upon him. They cannot be moved. ²⁴ His heart is as firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the nether millstone. ²⁵ When he raises himself up the mighty are afraid. Because of consternation they are beside themselves. ²⁶ If a man lays at him with the sword it cannot avail, nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft. ²⁷ He counts iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. ²⁸ The arrow cannot make him flee. Sling-stones are turned into stubble with him. ²⁹ Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin. ³⁰ His underparts are like sharp potsherds. He spreads out as a threshing-wagon upon the mire. ³¹ He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment. ³² He makes a path to shine after him. A man would think the deep to be hoary. ³³ Upon earth there is not his like who is made without fear. ³⁴ He beholds everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.

¹ In that day LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent, and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.

¹⁵ Behold now behemoth, which I made as well as thee. He eats grass as an ox. ¹⁶ Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly. ¹⁷ He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together. ¹⁸ His bones are as tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron. ¹⁹ He is a beginning of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword. ²⁰ Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. ²¹ He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the fen. ²² The lotus trees cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook encompass him about. ²³ Behold, if a river overflows, he does not tremble. He is confident though a Jordan swell even to his mouth. ²⁴ Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
