Job 41

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 41 of 42

1 ¶ Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, or hold down his tongue with a cord?

2 Can you put a reed rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a thorn?

3 Will he multiply supplications to you; or will he speak soft words to you?

4 Will he cut a covenant with you; will you take him for a slave forever?
