Job 41:1

[The second large animal described is Leviathan. The root word means to twist and turn, and it seems to describe a sea monster with reptilian features. Leviathan has been mentioned in passing earlier in the Book of Job, see Job 3:8. Among the species that exist today, it most closely resembles a crocodile, but it could also describe a now extinct species of dinosaur. It is also worth noting that most cultures have legends of fire-breathing dragons, and the description here in Job fits such a beast. The description of Leviathan here in Job seems to give a double image. It can be seen that Satan, who was visible in the first two chapters, reappears here at the end of the book in the form of a beast. The descriptions in these chapters often have several layers of meaning. While the story recounts the characteristics of a real animal, it also describes evil and Satan. In the last sentence, Leviathan is described as someone who is proud and is like a prince over this world, see Job 41:25. This is an image that the New Testament also uses about the devil, see Job 41:25; Eph. 2:1–2; 1 John 5:19.]
Can you capture (pull up) Leviathan with a hook,
and bind his tongue [and jaws]?
