Job 40:15-24

15Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like cattle.

16Look at the strength of his back and the power in the muscles of his belly.

17He stiffens his tail like a cedar tree; the tendons of his thighs are woven firmly together.

18His bones are bronze tubes; his limbs are like iron rods.

19He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.

20The hills yield food for him, while all sorts of wild animals play there.

21He lies under the lotus plants, hiding in the protection of marshy reeds.

22Lotus plants cover him with their shade; the willows by the brook surround him.

23Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth.

24Can anyone capture him while he looks on, or pierce his nose with snares?
