Job 40:15-24

New Century Version

¹⁵ “Look at Behemoth,^[a]
    which I made just as I made you.
    It eats grass like an ox.
¹⁶ Look at the strength it has in its body;
    the muscles of its stomach are powerful.
¹⁷ Its tail is like a cedar tree;
    the muscles of its thighs are woven together.
¹⁸ Its bones are like tubes of bronze;
    its legs are like bars of iron.
¹⁹ It is one of the first of God’s works,
    but its Maker can destroy it.
²⁰ The hills, where the wild animals play,
    provide food for it.
²¹ It lies under the lotus plants,
    hidden by the tall grass in the swamp.
²² The lotus plants hide it in their shadow;
    the poplar trees by the streams surround it.
²³ If the river floods, it will not be afraid;
    it is safe even if the Jordan River rushes to its mouth.
²⁴ Can anyone blind its eyes and capture it?
    Can anyone put hooks in its nose?
