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?
25. Will your friends cut him into pieces, will dealers distribute him?
26. Will you fill up bags with his hide, and let his head be used as a home for fishes?
27. Place your hand upon him; remember the battle and speak no more.
