God’s Power Shown in Creatures

15 “Behold, [a]Behemoth, which (A)I made [b]as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 Behold, his strength in his waist,
And his power in the muscles of his belly.
17 He hangs his tail like a cedar;
The tendons of his thighs are knit together.
18 His bones are tubes of bronze;
His [c]limbs are like bars of iron.

19 “He is the (B)first of the ways of God;
Let his (C)Maker bring His sword near.
