Job 41:1-34: GOD’s Behemoth:
40:15: Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox.
40:16: See now, his strength is in his hips, And his power is in his stomach muscles.
40:17: He moves his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
40:18 His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron.
40:19: He is the first of the ways of God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword.
40:20 Surely the mountains yield food for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.
40:21 He lies under the lotus trees, In a covert of reeds and marsh.
40:22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade; The willows by the brook surround him.
40:23: Indeed the river may rage, Yet he is not disturbed; He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth,
40:24 Though he takes it in his eyes, Or one pierces his nose with a snare.
Job 41:1-34: GOD’s Power in the Leviathan:
41:1: Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
41:2: Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook?
41:3: Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you?
41:4: Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever?
41:5: Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens?
41:6: Will your companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants?
41:7: Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?
41:8: Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle—Never do it again!
41:9: Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false; Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?
41:10: No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me?
41:11: Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.
41:12: I will not conceal his limbs, His mighty power, or his graceful proportions.
41:13: Who can remove his outer coat? Who can approach him with a double bridle?
41:14: Who can open the doors of his face, With his terrible teeth all around?
41:15: His rows of scales are his pride, Shut up tightly as with a seal;
41:16: One is so near another That no air can come between them;
41:17: They are joined one to another, They stick together and cannot be parted.
41:18: His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
41:19: Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out.
41:20: Smoke goes out of his nostrils, As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
41:21: His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes out of his mouth.
41:22: Strength dwells in his neck, And sorrow dances before him.
41:23: The folds of his flesh are joined together; They are firm on him and cannot be moved.
41:24: His heart is as hard as stone, Even as hard as the lower millstone.
41:25: When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; Because of his crashings they are beside themselves.
41:26: Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; Nor does spear, dart, or javelin.
41:27: He regards iron as straw, And bronze as rotten wood.
41:28: The arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones become like stubble to him.
41:29: Darts are regarded as straw; He laughs at the threat of javelins.
41:30: His undersides are like sharp potsherds; He spreads pointed marks in the mire.
41:31: He makes the deep boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
41:32: He leaves a shining wake behind him; One would think the deep had white hair.
41:33: On earth there is nothing like him, Which is made without fear.
41:34: He beholds every high thing; He is king over all the children of pride.

104:27: These all wait for You, that You may give them their food in due season.
104:28: What you give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
104:29: You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
104:30: You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the earth.
