Job 40:15-24
New American Standard Bible 1995
God’s Power Shown in Creatures
15 “Behold now, [a]Behemoth, which (A)I made [b]as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 “Behold now, his strength in his loins
And his power in the muscles of his belly.
17 “He bends his tail like a cedar;
The sinews 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 near his sword.
20 “Surely the mountains (D)bring him food,
And all the beasts of the field (E)play there.
21 “Under the lotus plants he lies down,
In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.
22 “The lotus plants cover him with [d]shade;
The willows of the brook surround him.
23 “If a river [e]rages, he is not alarmed;
He is confident, though the (F)Jordan rushes to his mouth.
24 “Can anyone capture him [f]when he is on watch,
With [g]barbs can anyone pierce his nose?

Job 40:15-24
New International Version
15 “Look at Behemoth,
which I made(A) along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.(B)
16 What strength(C) it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!(D)
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.(E)
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs(F) like rods of iron.(G)
19 It ranks first among the works of God,(H)
yet its Maker(I) can approach it with his sword.(J)
20 The hills bring it their produce,(K)
and all the wild animals play(L) nearby.(M)
21 Under the lotus plants it lies,
hidden among the reeds(N) in the marsh.(O)
22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow;
the poplars by the stream(P) surround it.
23 A raging river(Q) does not alarm it;
it is secure, though the Jordan(R) should surge against its mouth.
24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes,
or trap it and pierce its nose?(S)
