   ²Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

   ³Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.

   ⁶Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

   ⁷When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

   ⁸Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

   ⁹When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

   ¹⁰And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

   ¹¹And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

   ¹CANST thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

   ²Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

   ³Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

   ⁴Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

   ⁵Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

   ⁶Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

   ⁷Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

   ⁸Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

   ⁹Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

   ¹⁰None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

   ¹¹Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

   ¹²I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

   ¹³Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

   ¹⁴Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

   ¹⁵His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

   ¹⁶One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

   ¹⁷They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

   ¹⁸By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

   ¹⁹Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

   ²⁰Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

   ²¹His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

   ²²In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

   ²³The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

   ²⁴His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

   ²⁵When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

   ²⁶The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

   ²⁷He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

   ²⁸The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

   ²⁹Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

   ³⁰Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

   ³¹He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

   ³²He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

   ³³Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

   ³⁴He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
