Genesis 6:4
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

Ezekiel 29:3-5
speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lieth in the midst of his rivers, that hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales; and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, with all the fish of thy rivers which stick unto thy scales.And I will cast thee forth into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; I have given thee for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.

Job 41:1-34
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee?Will he make a covenant with thee, That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?Will the bands of fishermen make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants?Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish- spears?Lay thy hand upon him; Remember the battle, and do so no more.Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me?Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws?Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.His strong scales are his pride, Shut up together as with a close seal.One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.They are joined one to another; They stick together, so that they cannot be sundered.His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap forth.Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and burning rushes.His breath kindleth coals, And a flame goeth forth from his mouth.In his neck abideth strength, And terror danceth before him.The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, firm as the nether millstone.When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.He counteth iron as straw, And brass as rotten wood.The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling- stones are turned with him into stubble.Clubs are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.His underparts are like sharp potsherds: He spreadeth as it were a threshing- wain upon the mire.He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary.Upon earth there is not his like, That is made without fear.He beholdeth everything that is high: He is king over all the sons of pride.

Psalms 104:25-26
Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.
