13. Bury them in the dust.Imprison them in the world of the dead.
14. Then even I would praise you,for your own strength would save you.
15. “Take a look at Behemoth,which I made, just as I made you.It eats grass like an ox.
16. See its powerful loinsand the muscles of its belly.
17. Its tail is as strong as a cedar.The sinews of its thighs are knit tightly together.
18. Its bones are tubes of bronze.Its limbs are bars of iron.
19. It is a prime example of God’s handiwork,and only its Creator can threaten it.
20. The mountains offer it their best food,where all the wild animals play.
21. It lies under the lotus plants,hidden by the reeds in the marsh.
22. The lotus plants give it shadeamong the willows beside the stream.
23. It is not disturbed by the raging river,not concerned when the swelling Jordan rushes around it.
24. No one can catch it off guardor put a ring in its nose and lead it away.
