Job 41:1-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 41
1'Can you drag out Leviathan with a fishhook, And press down his tongue with a rope? 2Can you put a rope in his nose, And pierce his jaw with a hook? 3Will he make many pleas to you, Or will he speak to you gentle words? 4Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? 5Will you play with him as with a bird, And tie him down for your young girls? 6Will the traders bargain for him? Will they divide him among the merchants? 7Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears? 8Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle; you will not do it again!King James Version

You won’t try that again!English Standard Version
