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

15 "Look now at Behemoth, which I made as I made you; it eats grass like the ox. 16 Look at its strength in its loins, and its power in the muscles of its belly. 17 It makes its tail stiff like a cedar, the sinews of its thighs are tightly wound. 18 Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like bars of iron. 19 It ranks first among the works of God, the One who made it has furnished it with a sword. 20 For the hills bring it food, where all the wild animals play. 21 Under the lotus trees it lies, in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh. 22 The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it. 23 If the river rages, it is not disturbed, it is secure, though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth. 24 Can anyone catch it by its eyes, or pierce its nose with a snare?
