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

15 "Please observe Behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like an ox. 16 Now take a look at the strength that he has in his loins, and in the muscles of his abdomen. 17 His tail protrudes stiffly, like cedar; the sinews of his thigh interlink for strength. 18 His bones are conduits of bronze; his strong bones are like bars of iron. 19 He is the grandest of God's undertakings, yet his creator is approaching him with his sword. 20 Mountains produce food for him, where all the wild animals frolic. 21 He lies under the lotus trees, hiding under reeds and marshes. 22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade, and willows that line the wadis surround him. 23 What you see as a raging river doesn't alarm him; he is confident when the Jordan overflows. 24 Are your eyes looking to capture him, or to pierce his snout with a bridle?"
