JOB 40:15–24, engwebp
¹⁵“See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
¹⁶Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
¹⁷He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
¹⁸His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
¹⁹He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
²⁰Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
²¹He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
²²The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
²³Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
²⁴Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?

Verses tagged with this entry

Names in the World English Bible text that carry this entry’s tag. They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
