Job 40:15-24

Modern English Version

¹⁵ “Look now at the behemoth
    which I made along with you;
    he eats grass like an ox.
¹⁶ See now his strength is in his hips,
    and his power is in the muscles of his belly.
¹⁷ He moves his tail like a cedar;
    the sinews of his thighs are wrapped together.
¹⁸ His bones are like strong pieces of brass;
    his bones are like bars of iron.
¹⁹ He is the first of the works of God;
    He who made him can bring near His sword.
²⁰ Surely the mountains bring forth food for him,
    where all the beasts of the field play.
²¹ He lies under the shady trees,
    in the thicket of the reed and marsh.
²² The shady trees cover him with their shadow;
    the willows of the brook surround him.
²³ Look, the river rages, but he is not alarmed;
    he trusts that he can draw up the Jordan into his mouth.
²⁴ Can anyone catch it by its eyes,
    or pierce its nose with a snare?
