10 Katso Behemotia, jonka minä loin niinkuin sinutkin; se syö ruohoa niinkuin raavas.

11 Katso, sen voima on lanteissa, sen väkevyys vatsalihaksissa.

12 Se ojentaa jäykäksi häntänsä kuin setripuun, sen reisijänteet ovat lujiksi punotut.

13 Sen luut ovat niinkuin vaskiputket, sen nikamat niinkuin raudasta taotut.

14 Se on Jumalan töiden esikoinen; sen luoja ojentaa sille miekan.

15 Sille kantavat satonsa vuoret, joilla kaikki metsän eläimet leikitsevät.

16 Lootuspensaiden alla se makaa, ruovikon ja rämeen kätkössä.

17 Lootuspensaat peittävät sen varjoonsa, puron pajut ympäröivät sitä.

18 Jos virta hätyyttää, ei se säikähdy, se on huoleton, kuohukoon vaikka itse Jordan sen kitaan.

19 Kukapa kävisi kiinni sen silmiin, lävistäisi heittoaseella sen turvan?

10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor,
    and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.(A)
11 Unleash the fury of your wrath,(B)
    look at all who are proud and bring them low,(C)
12 look at all who are proud(D) and humble them,(E)
    crush(F) the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury them all in the dust together;(G)
    shroud their faces in the grave.(H)
14 Then I myself will admit to you
    that your own right hand can save you.(I)

15 “Look at Behemoth,
    which I made(J) along with you
    and which feeds on grass like an ox.(K)
16 What strength(L) it has in its loins,
    what power in the muscles of its belly!(M)
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
    the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.(N)
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
    its limbs(O) like rods of iron.(P)
19 It ranks first among the works of God,(Q)
    yet its Maker(R) can approach it with his sword.(S)

10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

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

16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

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

18 His 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.
