Job 40:15-24
15“Behold, 1Behemoth, which 2I made 3as well as you; He eats grass like an ox.16Behold, his strength in his waist, And his power in the muscles of his belly.17He hangs his tail like a cedar; The tendons 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 His sword near.20Indeed the 7mountains 8bring him food, And all the animals of the field 9play there.21He lies down under the lotus plants, In the hiding place of the reeds and the marsh.22The lotus plants cover him with 10shade; The willows of the brook surround him.23If a river 11rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the 12Jordan rushes to his mouth.24Can anyone capture him 13when he is on watch, Can anyone pierce his nose with barbs?
