15 “Look at Behemoth,

which I madey along with you

and which feeds on grass like an ox.z

16 What strengtha it has in its loins,

what power in the muscles of its belly!b

17 Its tail sways like a cedar;

the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.c

18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,

its limbsd like rods of iron.e

19 It ranks first among the works of God,f

yet its Makerg can approach it with his sword.h

20 The hills bring it their produce,i

and all the wild animals playj nearby.k

21 Under the lotus plants it lies,

hidden among the reedsl in the marsh.m

22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow;

the poplars by the streamn surround it.

23 A raging rivero does not alarm it;

it is secure, though the Jordanp should surge against its mouth.

24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes,

or trap it and pierce its nose?q
