Job 40:14-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 40
14Then I will also confess to you, That your own right hand can save you. 15'Behold, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox. 16Behold, his strength in his waist, And his power in the muscles of his belly. 17He hangs his tail like a cedar; The tendons of his thighs are knit together. 18His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron. 19'He is the first of the ways of God; Let his Maker bring His sword near. 20Indeed the mountains bring him food, And all the animals of the field play there. 21He lies down under the lotus plants, In the hiding place of the reeds and the marsh. 22The lotus plants cover him with shade; The willows of the brook surround him. 23If a river rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth. 24Can anyone capture him when he is on watch, Can anyone pierce his nose with barbs?King James Version

Chapter 40
14Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can deliver you. 15Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like cattle. 16Look at the strength of his back and the power in the muscles of his belly. 17He stiffens his tail like a cedar tree; the tendons of his thighs are woven firmly together. 18His bones are bronze tubes; his limbs are like iron rods. 19He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him. 20The hills yield food for him, while all sorts of wild animals play there. 21He lies under the lotus plants, hiding in the protection of marshy reeds. 22Lotus plants cover him with their shade; the willows by the brook surround him. 23Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth. 24Can anyone capture him while he looks on, or pierce his nose with snares?New Living Translation
15'Take a look at Behemoth, which I made, just as I made you. It eats grass like an ox.
16See its powerful loins and the muscles of its belly.
17Its tail is as strong as a cedar. The sinews of its thighs are knit tightly together.
18Its bones are tubes of bronze. Its limbs are bars of iron.
19It is a prime example of God’s handiwork, and only its Creator can threaten it.
20The mountains offer it their best food, where all the wild animals play.
21It lies under the lotus plants, hidden by the reeds in the marsh.
22The lotus plants give it shade among the willows beside the stream.
23It is not disturbed by the raging river, not concerned when the swelling Jordan rushes around it.
24No one can catch it off guard or put a ring in its nose and lead it away.

Chapter 40
14Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you. 15"Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. 16Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. 17He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. 18His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron. 19"He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword! 20For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play. 21Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh. 22For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him. 23Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth. 24Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?New International Version
Chapter 40
14Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you. 15"Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. 16What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly! 17Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit. 18Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron. 19It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword. 20The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. 21Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. 22The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it. 23A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth. 24Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?New King James Version
