Job 40:15-19
New International Version
15 “Look at Behemoth,
which I made(A) along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.(B)
16 What strength(C) it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!(D)
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.(E)
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs(F) like rods of iron.(G)
19 It ranks first among the works of God,(H)
yet its Maker(I) can approach it with his sword.(J)
Job 40:15-19
King James Version
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.

Job 40:15-19
New King James Version
15 “Look now at the [a]behemoth, which I made along with you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 See now, his strength is in his hips,
And his power is in his stomach muscles.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
18 His bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.
19 He is the first of the (A)ways of God;
Only He who made him can bring near His sword.
