Job 40:15-24

15"Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.

16Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.

17He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.

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

19"He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!

20For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.

21Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.

22For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.

23Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.

24Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?
