New American Standard Bible 1995
Job 40:15-24
15“Behold now, 1Behemoth, which 2I made 3as well as you; He eats grass like an ox.16Behold now, his strength in his loins And his power in the muscles of his belly.17He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together.18His bones are tubes of bronze; His 4limbs are like bars of iron.
19“He is the 5first of the ways of God; Let his 6maker bring near his sword.20Surely the mountains 7bring him food, And all the beasts of the field 8play there.21Under the lotus plants he lies down, In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.22The lotus plants cover him with 9shade; The willows of the brook surround him.23If a river 10rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the 11Jordan rushes to his mouth.24Can anyone capture him 12when he is on watch, With 13barbs can anyone pierce his nose?
