Marine Spirits

Am I the sea, or a sea serpent, That You should set a guard over me?

Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?

Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?

No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me?

His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out.

He makes the deep boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.

He leaves a shining wake behind him; One would think the deep had white hair.

You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.

And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.”

For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”

Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.

So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.”

And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
