¹⁵ "Behold Behemoth, whom I made with thee, which eateth hay as an ox: ¹⁶ lo, how strong he is in his loins, and what power he hath in the navel of his body. ¹⁷ He spreadeth out his tail like a Cedar tree, all his sinews are stiff. ¹⁸ His shins are like pipes of brass, his ridge bones are like staves of iron. ¹⁹ First when God made him, he ordained the wilderness for him, ²⁰ that the mountains should give him grass, where all the beasts of the field take their pastime. ²¹ He lieth among the reeds in the mosses, ²² the fens hide him with their shadow, and the willows of the brook cover him round about. ²³ Behold, he drinketh up whole rivers and feareth not: he thinketh that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. ²⁴ Who dare lay a hand on him openly, and undertake to catch him? Or, who dare put a hook through his nose, and lay a snare for him?
