Job 40

HALL

Job 40:15

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

Look but upon two of my creatures; the one on the land, the other in the water; both high and mighty: behold the elephant first, which I have formed and placed in thy view, and made apt to thy use; which, though he be so vast that his very stature is enough to terrify the beholder, yet I have caused him to eat grass like the ox, and to feed on no prey but these slight vegetables.

Job 40:17

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

In his lust, he moveth his generative part, like to some cedar; and the sinews of his stones are wrapt together, like to the roots of those tall and strong trees.

Job 40:24

He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares, (or, as the margin rather, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?)

Will any man be able by open force to take him, while he sees and is forewarned of the enterprise? or can he be taken by the nose, as a fish with a hook? Is he not able to break through all the dangers of a violent taking?
