May those who curse days curse that day,
those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.

Let those curse it who curse the day,
who are ready to rouse up Leviathan.

‘Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook
or tie down its tongue with a rope?

“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook
or press down his tongue with a cord?

It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan
and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.

You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

There the ships go to and fro,
and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

There go the ships,
and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it.

In that day,

the Lord will punish with his sword –
his fierce, great and powerful sword –
Leviathan the gliding serpent,
Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster of the sea.

In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea.
