Job 41: Leviathan and the Lord of All

God asks Job, Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook? Leviathan is a fearsome sea creature that no person can tame or capture. God says, None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me? Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine. God describes Leviathan's scales, breath, and strength. He is king over all the sons of pride, yet God made him and rules him.
