Job 40:17 in context

The verses around it, from Job 40.

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

14 Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can save you.

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

16 See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.

17 His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.

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

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

20 The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.

21 He lies under the lotus plants, hidden among the reeds of the marsh.
