17 He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him.
18 Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.
19 Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose?
20 Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth?
21 Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue?
22 Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you?
23 Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever?
