Job 40:15-24
World English Bible
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?

God’s Power Shown in Creatures
15 “Behold, [a]Behemoth, which (A)I made [b]as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 Behold, his strength in his waist,
And his power in the muscles of his belly.
17 He hangs his tail like a cedar;
The tendons of his thighs are knit together.
18 His bones are tubes of bronze;
His [c]limbs are like bars of iron.
19 “He is the (B)first of the ways of God;
Let his (C)Maker bring His sword near.
20 Indeed the [d]mountains (D)bring him food,
And all the animals of the field (E)play there.
21 He lies down under the lotus plants,
In the hiding place of the reeds and the marsh.
22 The lotus plants cover him with [e]shade;
The willows of the brook surround him.
23 If a river [f]rages, he is not alarmed;
He is confident, though the (F)Jordan rushes to his mouth.
24 Can anyone capture him [g]when he is on watch,
Can anyone pierce his nose with barbs?
