¹⁵ “See now, behemoth, which I made as well as you.
    He eats grass as an ox.
¹⁶ Look now, his strength is in his thighs.
    His force is in the muscles of his belly.
¹⁷ He moves his tail like a cedar.
    The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
¹⁸ His bones are like tubes of bronze.
    His limbs are like bars of iron.

¹⁹ He is the chief of the ways of God.
    He who made him gives him his sword.
²⁰ Surely the mountains produce food for him,
    where all the animals of the field play.
²¹ He lies under the lotus trees,
    in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
²² The lotuses cover him with their shade.
    The willows of the brook surround him.
²³ Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble.
    He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
²⁴ Shall any take him when he is on the watch,
    or pierce through his nose with a snare?
