Job 40:15-24
New American Standard Bible
God’s Power Shown in Creatures
15 “Behold, [a]Behemoth, which (A)I made [b]as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 Behold, his strength in his waist,
And his power in the muscles of his belly.
17 He hangs his tail like a cedar;
The tendons of his thighs are knit together.
18 His bones are tubes of bronze;
His [c]limbs are like bars of iron.
19 “He is the (B)first of the ways of God;
Let his (C)Maker bring His sword near.
20 Indeed the [d]mountains (D)bring him food,
And all the animals of the field (E)play there.
21 He lies down under the lotus plants,
In the hiding place of the reeds and the marsh.
22 The lotus plants cover him with [e]shade;
The willows of the brook surround him.
23 If a river [f]rages, he is not alarmed;
He is confident, though the (F)Jordan rushes to his mouth.
24 Can anyone capture him [g]when he is on watch,
Can anyone pierce his nose with barbs?
