3 Will he make many pleas to you?Will he speak to you soft words?
4 Will he make a covenant with youto take him for your servant forever?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird,or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
6 Will traders bargain over him?Will they divide him up among the merchants?
7 Can you fill his skin with harpoonsor his head with fishing spears?
8 Lay your hands on him;remember the battle—you will not do it again!
9 Behold, the hope of a man is false;he is laid low even at the sight of him.
