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?

15 “Look, Behemoth,[a] which I have made just as I made you;
it eats grass like the ox.
16 Look, its strength is in its loins
and its power in the muscles of its stomach.
17 It keeps its tail straight like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are tightly wound.
18 Its bones are tubes of copper,
its limbs like rods of iron.
19 “It is the first of God’s actions;
the one who made him furnishes it with his sword.[b]
20 Yes, the mountains yield produce for it,
and all wild animals[c] play there.
21 Under the lotus tree it lies,
in the hiding place of the reeds and in the marsh.
22 The lotus trees cover it with their shade;
the wadi’s[d] poplar trees surround it.
23 Look, if the river is turbulent, it is not frightened;
it is confident even though the Jordan rushes against its mouth.
24 Can anyone take it by its eyes?
Can he pierce its nose with a snare?
