15. “Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you.It eats grass as cattle do.
16. Look at the strength in its back muscles,the power in its stomach muscles.
17. It makes its tail stiff like a cedar.The ligaments of its thighs are intertwined.
18. Its bones are bronze tubes.They are like iron bars.
19. Behemoth is the first of God’s conquests.Its maker approaches it with his sword.
20. The hills bring it food,and all the wild animals play there.
21. It lies down under the lotus plantsin a hiding place among reeds and swamps.
22. Lotus plants provide it with cover.Poplars by the stream surround it.
23. Though the river flows powerfully against it, it’s not alarmed.It’s confident ⌊even⌋ when the Jordan rushes against its mouth.
24. Can anyone blind its eyes or pierce its nose with snares?
