Job 40:15-24
15“BeholdH2009, 1BehemothH930, whichH834 2I madeH6213 3asH5973 wellH5973 asH5973 you; He eatsH398 grassH2682 like an oxH1241.16BeholdH2009, his strengthH3581 in his waistH4975, And his powerH202 in the musclesH8306 of his bellyH990.17He hangsH2654 his tailH2180 likeH3644 a cedarH730; The tendonsH1517 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 His swordH2719 nearH5066.20IndeedH3588 the 7mountainsH2022 8bringH5375 him foodH944, And allH3605 the animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704 9playH7832 thereH8033.21He liesH7901 downH7901 underH8478 the lotusH6628 plantsH6628, In the hidingH5643 placeH5643 of the reedsH7070 and the marshH1207.22The lotusH6628 plantsH6628 coverH5526 him with 10shadeH6738; The willowsH6155 of the brookH5158 surroundH5437 him.23IfH2005 a riverH5104 11ragesH6231, he isH2648 not alarmedH2648; He isH982 confidentH982, thoughH3588 the 12JordanH3383 rushesH1518 to his mouthH6310.24Can anyone captureH3947 him 13when he is on watchH5869, Can anyone pierceH5344 his noseH639 with barbsH4170?
