| «أَتَصْطَادُ لَوِيَاثَانَ بِشِصٍّ، أَوْ تَضْغَطُ لِسَانَهُ بِحَبْلٍ؟ | ١ 1 |
Whether thou schalt mowe drawe out leuyathan with an hook, and schalt bynde with a roop his tunge?

Whether he schal make couenaunt with thee, and `thou schalt take him a seruaunt euerlastinge?
| أَتَلْعَبُ مَعَهُ كَٱلْعُصْفُورِ، أَوْ تَرْبِطُهُ لِأَجْلِ فَتَيَاتِكَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Whether thou schalt scorne hym as a brid, ethir schalt bynde hym to thin handmaidis?
| هَلْ تَحْفِرُ جَمَاعَةُ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ لِأَجْلِهِ حُفْرَةً، أَوْ يَقْسِمُونَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ؟ | ٦ 6 |
Schulen frendis `kerue hym, schulen marchauntis departe hym?

Schalt thou putte thin hond on hym? haue thou mynde of the batel, and adde no more to speke.

And who `yaf to me bifore, that Y yelde to hym? Alle thingis, that ben vndur heuene, ben myne.

A man archere schal not dryue hym awei; stoonys of a slynge ben turned in to stobil to hym.
