Job 40:15-24

15“Behold now, Behemoth, which I created as well as you; He eats grass like an ox.

16See now, his strength is in his loins And his power is in the muscles and sinews of his belly.

17He sways his tail like a cedar; The tendons of his thighs are twisted and knit together [like a rope].

18His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron.

19“He is the first [in magnitude and power] of the works of God; [Only] He who made him can bring near His sword [to master him].

20Surely the mountains bring him food, And all the wild animals play there.

21He lies down under the lotus plants, In the hidden shelter of the reeds in the marsh.

22The lotus plants cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook surround him.

23If a river rages and overflows, he does not tremble; He is confident, though the Jordan [River] swells and rushes against his mouth.

24Can anyone capture him when he is on watch, Or pierce his nose with barbs [to trap him]?
