Job 40:15-24

15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.1 16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the sinew of his belly. 17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his thighs are knit together.2 18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach him . 20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook surround him. 23Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.3 24He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.4
