12. He draws up his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs have been drawn together.
13. His bones are like pipes of brass; his cartilage is like plates of iron.
14. He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him; he will use him as his sword.
15. The mountains bring forth grass for him; all the beasts of the field will play there.
16. He sleeps in the shadows, under the cover of branches, and in moist places.
17. The shadows cover his shadow; the willows of the brook will encircle him.
18. Behold, he will drink a river and not be amazed, and he has confidence that the Jordan could flow into his mouth.
19. He will seize him through his eyes, as if with a hook, and he will bore through his nostrils, as if with stakes.
20. Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, and can you bind his tongue with a cord?
21. Can you place a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with an arm band?
22. Will he offer many prayers to you, or speak to you quietly?
