Job 41:2

¹ “Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie down his tongue with a rope?

Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?

³ Will he beg you for mercy or speak to you softly?

⁴ Will he make a covenant with you to take him as a slave for life?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
