  • Job 3:8-16
    May those curse it who curse the day,
    Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan. May the stars of its morning be dark;
    May it look for light, but have none,
    And not see the dawning of the day; Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,
    Nor hide sorrow from my eyes. “Why did I not die at birth?
    Why did I not perish when I came from the womb? Why did the knees receive me?
    Or why the breasts, that I should nurse? For now I would have lain still and been quiet,
    I would have been asleep;
    Then I would have been at rest With kings and counselors of the earth,
    Who built ruins for themselves, Or with princes who had gold,
    Who filled their houses with silver; Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child,
    Like infants who never saw light?
     
  • Psalm 74:14
    You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces,
    And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

    There the ships sail about;
    There is that Leviathan
    Which You have made to play there.

    The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
    Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
    Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.

    Till iniquity was found in you.
    "By the abundance of your trading
    You became filled with violence within,
    And you sinned;
    Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
    Out of the mountain of God;
    And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
    From the midst of the fiery stones.
    "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
    You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
    I cast you to the ground,
    I laid you before kings,
    That they might gaze at you.
