²⁶ There go the ships over, and there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made, to take his pastime therein.

²⁴ And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures in their kinds: cattle and worms and beasts of the earth in their kinds." And so it came to pass. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth in their kinds, and cattle in their kinds, and all manner worms of the earth in their kinds: and God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, "Let us make man in our similitude and after our likeness: that he may have rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over all worms that creep on the earth." ²⁷ And God created man after his likeness, after the likeness of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Grow and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over all the beasts that move on the earth. ²⁹ And God said, "See, I have given you all herbs that sow seed which are on all the earth, and all manner trees that have fruit in them and sow seed; to be meat for you, ³⁰ and for all beasts of the earth, and unto all fowls of the air, and unto all that creepeth on the earth wherein is life, that they may have all manner herbs and grass for to eat." And even so it was. ³¹ And God beheld all that he had made, and lo they were exceeding good: and so of the evening and morning was made the sixth day.

¹⁵ "Behold Behemoth, whom I made with thee, which eateth hay as an ox:

¹ Darest thou draw out Leviathan with an angle, or bind his tongue with a snare? ² Canst thou put a ring in the nose of him, or bore his jaw through with an awl? ³ Will he make many fair words with thee, thinkest thou, or flatter thee? ⁴ Will he make a covenant with thee? Or art thou able to compel him to do thee continual service? ⁵ Wilt thou take thy pastime with him as with a bird? Or give him unto thy maidens, ⁶ that thy companions may hew him in pieces, to be parted among the merchant men? ⁷ Canst thou fill the net with his skin, or the fish panner with his head? ⁸ Darest thou lay hand upon him? It is better for thee to consider what harm might happen thee therethrough, and not to touch him. ⁹ For when thou thinkest to have hold upon him, he shall beguile thee: Every man also that seeth him, shall go back. ¹⁰ And why? There dare none be so bold as to raise him up. Who is able to stand before me? ¹¹ "Or, who hath given me anything afore hand, that I am bound to reward him again? All things under heaven are mine. ¹² I will not keep secret his great strength, his power, nor his comely proportion. ¹³ Who lifteth him up, and stripeth him out of his clothes, or who taketh him by the bit of his bridle? ¹⁴ Who openeth the doors of his face? For he hath horrible teeth round about; ¹⁵ His body is covered with scales as it were with shields, locked in, kept, and well compact together. ¹⁶ One is so joined to another, that no air can come in: ¹⁷ Yea, one hangeth so upon another, and sticketh so together, that they cannot be sundered. ¹⁸ His sneezing is like a glistering fire, and his eyes like the morning shine. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go torches and fire brands, ²⁰ out of his nostrils there goeth smoke, like as out of a hot seething pot. ²¹ His breath maketh the coals burn, the flame goeth out of his mouth. ²² In his neck remaineth strength, and before his face sorrow is turned to gladness. ²³ The members of his body are joined so strait one to another, and cleave so fast together, that he cannot be moved. ²⁴ His heart is as hard as stone, and as fast as the stythie that the hammer man smiteth upon. ²⁵ When he goeth, the mightiest of all are afraid, and the waves heave. ²⁶ If any man draw out a sword at him, it shall not hurt him: there may neither spear, javelin, nor breast plate abide him. ²⁷ He setteth as much by a straw as by iron, and as much by a rotten stock as by metal. ²⁸ He starteth not away for him that bendeth the bow: and as for sling stones, he careth as much for stubble as for them. ²⁹ He counteth the hammer no better than a straw, he laugheth him to scorn that shaketh the spear. ³⁰ He treadeth the gold in the mire like the sharp potsherds. ³¹ He maketh the deep to seethe and boil like a pot, and stirreth the sea together like an ointment. ³² He maketh the path to be seen after him, and the deep is his walking place. ³³ Upon earth is there no power like unto his, for he is so made that he feareth not. ³⁴ If a man will consider all high things, this same is a king over all the children of pride."

¹ In that day, the LORD with his heavy, great, and long sword shall visit Leviathan that fugitive serpent: even Leviathan that crooked serpent, and shall slay the dragon in the sea.

¹⁵ "Behold Behemoth, whom I made with thee, which eateth hay as an ox: ¹⁶ lo, how strong he is in his loins, and what power he hath in the navel of his body. ¹⁷ He spreadeth out his tail like a Cedar tree, all his sinews are stiff. ¹⁸ His shins are like pipes of brass, his ridge bones are like staves of iron. ¹⁹ First when God made him, he ordained the wilderness for him, ²⁰ that the mountains should give him grass, where all the beasts of the field take their pastime. ²¹ He lieth among the reeds in the mosses, ²² the fens hide him with their shadow, and the willows of the brook cover him round about. ²³ Behold, he drinketh up whole rivers and feareth not: he thinketh that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. ²⁴ Who dare lay a hand on him openly, and undertake to catch him? Or, who dare put a hook through his nose, and lay a snare for him?
