Job 40:15-24

15“BeholdH2009 nowH4994, 1BehemothH930, whichH834 2I madeH6213 3as wellH5973 as you; He eatsH398 grassH2682 like an oxH1241.16BeholdH2009 nowH4994, his strengthH3581 in his loinsH4975 And his powerH202 in the musclesH8306 of his bellyH990.17He bendsH2654 his tailH2180 likeH3644 a cedarH730; The sinewsH1517 of his thighsH6344 are knitH8276 togetherH8276.18His bonesH6106 are tubesH650 of bronzeH5154; His 4limbsH1634 are like barsH4300 of ironH1270.

19“He is the 5firstH7225 of the waysH1870 of GodH410; Let his 6makerH6213 bringH5066 nearH5066 his swordH2719.20SurelyH5608 the mountainsH2022 7bringH5375 him foodH944, And allH3605 the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 8playH7832 thereH8033.21UnderH8478 the lotusH6628 plantsH6628 he liesH7901 downH7901, In the covertH5643 of the reedsH7070 and the marshH1207.22The lotusH6628 plantsH6628 coverH5526 him with 9shadeH6738; The willowsH6155 of the brookH5158 surroundH5437 him.23IfH2005 a riverH5104 10ragesH6231, he is not alarmedH2648; He is confidentH982, thoughH3588 the 11JordanH3383 rushesH1518 to his mouthH6310.24Can anyone captureH3947 him 12when he is on watchH5869, With 13barbsH4170 can anyone pierceH5344 his noseH639?
