Job 40:15-24

15Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He feeds on grass like an ox.16See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.17His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.18His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are rods of iron.19He is the foremost of God’s works;1 only his Maker can draw the sword against him.20The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.21He lies under the lotus plants,2 hidden among the reeds of the marsh.22The lotus plants conceal him in their shade; the willows3 of the brook surround him.23Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains secure, though the Jordan surges to his mouth.24Can anyone capture him as he looks on, or pierce his nose with a snare?
