Job 40:15-24

15“Take a look at Behemoth, which I made, just as I made you. It eats grass like an ox.

16See its powerful loins and the muscles of its belly.

17Its tail is as strong as a cedar. The sinews of its thighs are knit tightly together.

18Its bones are tubes of bronze. Its limbs are bars of iron.

19It is a prime example of God’s handiwork, and only its Creator can threaten it.

20The mountains offer it their best food, where all the wild animals play.

21It lies under the lotus plants, hidden by the reeds in the marsh.

22The lotus plants give it shade among the willows beside the stream.

23It is not disturbed by the raging river, not concerned when the swelling Jordan rushes around it.

24No one can catch it off guard or put a ring in its nose and lead it away.
