New Testament

Job 40:10-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. Behold, the behemoth, whom I created along with you, eats hay like an ox.

11. His strength is in his lower back, and his power is in the center of his abdomen.

12. He draws up his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs have been drawn together.

13. His bones are like pipes of brass; his cartilage is like plates of iron.

14. He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him; he will use him as his sword.

15. The mountains bring forth grass for him; all the beasts of the field will play there.

16. He sleeps in the shadows, under the cover of branches, and in moist places.

17. The shadows cover his shadow; the willows of the brook will encircle him.

18. Behold, he will drink a river and not be amazed, and he has confidence that the Jordan could flow into his mouth.

19. He will seize him through his eyes, as if with a hook, and he will bore through his nostrils, as if with stakes.
