The LORD Continues

Can You Catch a Sea Monster?

Job 41 Can you catch a sea monster by using a fishhook?
Can you tie its mouth shut with a rope?
2Can it be led around by a ring in its nose
or a hook in its jaw?
3Will it beg for mercy?
4Will it surrender as a slave for life?
5Can it be tied by the leg
like a pet bird for little girls?
6Is it ever chopped up and its pieces bargained for
in the fish-market?
7Can it be killed with harpoons or spears?
8Wrestle it just once-- that will be the end.
9Merely a glimpse of this monster makes all courage melt.
10And if it is too fierce for anyone to attack,
who would dare oppose me?
11I am in command of the world and in debt to no one.
