# General Information:

God continues speaking. He is using many rhetorical questions to challenge Job.
|
|
|
|
# Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook?
|
|
|
|
God uses this question to remind Job that Job is not powerful like Leviathan. This question can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "You know that you cannot draw out Leviathan with a fishhook." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

The words "can you" are understood from the previous question. They can be repeated here. God uses this question to remind Job that Job is not powerful like Leviathan. This question can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "Or can you tie up his jaws with a cord?" or "And you know that you cannot tie up his jaws with a cord." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-ellipsis]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
