Job 40:15-24

15Behold now behemothH930, which I madeH6213 with thee; he eatethH398 grassH2682 as an oxH1241.1 16Lo now, his strengthH3581 is in his loinsH4975, and his forceH202 is in the navelH8306 of his bellyH990. 17He movethH2654 his tailH2180 like a cedarH730: the sinewsH1517 of his stonesH6344 are wrapped togetherH8276.2 18His bonesH6106 are as strongH650 pieces of brassH5154; his bonesH1634 are like barsH4300 of ironH1270. 19He is the chiefH7225 of the waysH1870 of GodH410: he that madeH6213 him can makeH5066 his swordH2719 to approachH5066 unto him. 20Surely the mountainsH2022 bring him forthH5375 foodH944, where all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 playH7832. 21He liethH7901 under the shady treesH6628, in the covertH5643 of the reedH7070, and fensH1207. 22The shady treesH6628 coverH5526 him with their shadowH6752; the willowsH6155 of the brookH5158 compass him aboutH5437. 23Behold, he drinketh upH6231 a riverH5104, and hastethH2648 not: he trustethH982 that he can draw upH1518 JordanH3383 into his mouthH6310.3 24He takethH3947 it with his eyesH5869: his noseH639 pierceth throughH5344 snaresH4170.4
