Rh :Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not:
 * He trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
 * He taketh it with his eyes:
 * His nose pierceth through snares.


 * thou draw out leviathan with an hook?
 * Or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
 * Canst thou put an hook into his nose?
 * Or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
 * Will he make many supplications unto thee?
 * Will he speak soft words unto thee?
 * Will he make a covenant with thee?
 * Wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
 * Wilt thou play with him as with a bird?
 * Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
 * Shall the companions make a banquet of him?
 * Shall they part him among the merchants?
 * Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons?
 * Or his head with fish spears?
 * Lay thine hand upon him,
 * Remember the battle, do no more.
 * Behold, the hope of him is in vain:
 * Shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
 * None is so fierce that dare stir him up:
 * Who then is able to stand before me?
 * Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him?
 * Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
