New Testament

Job 41:1-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hookor snare his tongue with a line which you let down?

2. Can you put a cord into his nose,or pierce his jaw with a hook?

3. Will he make many supplications to you?Will he speak soft words to you?

4. Will he make a covenant with you?Will you take him for a servant forever?

5. Will you play with him as with a bird?Or will you put him on a leash for your maidens?

6. Will your companions make a banquet of him?Will they divide him among the merchants?

7. Can you fill his skin with harpoonsor his head with fishing spears?

8. Lay your hand on him;remember the battle—you will do it no more.

9. Notice, any hope of overcoming him is in vain;shall not one be overwhelmed at the sight of him?

10. No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up.Who then is able to stand before Me?

11. Who has preceded Me that I should repay him?Everything under heaven is Mine.
