More about Canst thou draw out Livyatan with a hook?

Leviathan from the Orthodox Jewish Bible
Job 41:1-34 (OJB):
1 Canst thou draw out Livyatan with a hook? Or his leshon (tongue) with a cord which thou lettest down?
2 Canst thou put a reed rope into his nose? Or bore through his jaw with a hook?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Will he cut a brit (covenant, agreement) with thee? Wilt thou take him for an eved olam (servant forever)?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy ne’arot (maidens)?
6 Shall khaverim (associates) make a banquet of him? Shall they divide him among the merchants?
7 Canst thou fill his orot (hide, skin) with barbed irons? Or his rosh with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him; remember the milchamah (battle), do no more.
9 Hinei, the tikvat (hope) of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?
11 Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole Shomayim is Mine.
12 I will not conceal his limbs, nor his mighty power, nor his comely proportion. 13 Who can remove the covering of his outer garment? Or who can penetrate his double armor? 14 Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrible round about. 15 His scales are his ga’avah (pride), shut up together as with a tight seal. 16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. 17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. 18 By his sneezings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the shachar (dawn). 19 Out of his mouth go burning lights, and sparks of eish (fire) leap out. 20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or cauldron. 21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. 22 In his neck abideth strength, and despair danceth before him. 23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved. 24 His lev (heart) is as firm as an even (stone); yea, as hard as a lower millstone. 25 When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of fears they retreat. 26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold, nor the spear, the dart, nor the javelin. 27 He regardeth barzel (iron) as straw, and nechoshet (bronze) as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 29 Clubs are counted as straw; he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. 30 Sharp stones are under him; he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the yam (sea) like a pot of ointment. 32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be white-haired. 33 Upon earth there is none his equal, who is made without fear. 34 He beholdeth all that is high; he is melech (king) over all the proud.
