The Power of Behemoth
Job 40:15-24
15
Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.
16
Lyeth hee vnder the trees in the couert of the reede and fennes?
17
Can the trees couer him with their shadow? or can the willowes of the riuer compasse him about?
18
Behold, he spoyleth the riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iorden into his mouth.
19
Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.
20
Canst thou drawe out Liuiathan with an hooke, and with a line which thou shalt cast downe vnto his tongue?
21
Canst thou cast an hooke into his nose? canst thou perce his iawes with an angle?
22
Will he make many prayers vnto thee, or speake thee faire?
23
Will hee make a couenant with thee? and wilt thou take him as a seruant for euer?
24
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bynd him for thy maydes? Shall the companions baket with him? shall they deuide him among the marchants? Canst thou fill the basket with his skinne? or the fishpanier with his head? Lay thine hand vpon him: remember the battel, and do no more so. Behold, his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perish euen at the sight of him?
