New Testament

Job 40:13-24 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. Hide them together in the dust;imprison them in the grave.

14. Then I will confess to youthat your own right hand can deliver you.

15. Look at Behemoth,which I made along with you.He eats grass like an ox.

16. Look at the strength of his loinsand the power in the muscles of his belly.

17. He stiffens his tail like a cedar tree;the tendons of his thighs are woven firmly together.

18. His bones are bronze tubes;his limbs are like iron rods.

19. He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.

20. The hills yield food for him,while all sorts of wild animals play there.

21. He lies under the lotus plants,hiding in the protection of marshy reeds.

22. Lotus plants cover him with their shade;the willows by the brook surround him.

23. Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid;he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth.

24. Can anyone capture him while he looks on, or pierce his nose with snares?
