Job 40:15-24 - Can You Conquer Behemoth, Job?

15 See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox. 16 His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach. 17 His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together. 18 His bones are pipes of brass, his legs are like rods of iron. 19 He is the chief of the ways of God, made by him for his pleasure. 20 He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play. 21 He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants. 22 He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him. 23 Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth. 24 Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose?
