Job 40:15-24 - Can You Conquer Behemoth, Job?
15 Behold, I pray thee, the Hippopotamus, which I made with thee, Grass - like the ox, he eateth; 16 Behold, I pray thee, his strength in his loins, and his force, in the muscles of his belly; 17 He bendeth down his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his thighs, are twisted together; 18 His bones, are barrels of bronze, his frame, is like hammered bars of iron: 19 He, is the beginning of the ways of GOD, Let his maker, present him his sword: 20 Surely the mountains bring, produce, to him, where, all the wild beasts of the field, do play; 21 Under the lotus-trees, he lieth down, in a covert of reed and swamp; 22 The lotus-trees cover him with their shade, the willows of the torrent-bed compass him about; 23 Lo! the river becometh insolent - he is not alarmed! He is confident, though a Jordan burst forth to his mouth: 24 Before his eyes, shall he be caught? With a hook, can one pierce his nose?
