“Canst thou draw out Leuiathan with an hooke? or his tongue with a corde which thou lettest downe?”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
41:1 Leviathan - Several particulars in the following description, agree far better with the crocodile, than the whale. It is highly probable, that this is the creature here spoken of. Cord - Canst thou take him with a hook and a line, as anglers take ordinary fishes.
