15  Behold now ||behemoth,

Which I made with thee;

He eateth tgrass as an ox.

16  Lo now, his strength is in his loins,

And his force is in the navel of his belly.

17  ||He moveth his tail like a cedar:

The sinews of his stones are uwrapped together.

18  His bones are as strong pieces of brass;

His bones are like bars of iron.

19  He is the wchief of the xways of God:

He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

20  Surely the mountains bring him forth food,

Where all the beasts of the field play.

21  He lieth under the shady trees,

In the covert of the reed, and yfens.

22  The shady trees cover him with their shadow;

The zwillows of the brook compass him about.

23  Behold, †he drinketh up a river, and ahasteth not:

He trusteth that he can bdraw up Jordan into his mouth.

24  ||He taketh it with his eyes:

His nose pierceth through snares.
