Job 40:15-24 Behemoth Leviathan etc.,

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

¹⁷He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

¹⁸His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

¹⁹ He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
