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)
