New Testament

Job 40:17-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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?

23. Will he form a covenant with you, and will you accept him as a servant forever?

24. Will you play with him as with a bird, or tether him for your handmaids?
