Job 40:15-24, Jer 27:5-6, Dan 2:38 | ESV | STEP | Behold , Behemoth , which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox .

Job 40:15-24

15 “Behold, Behemoth, ^{▼▼A large animal, exact identity unknown}
which I made as I made you;
he eats ^bgrass like an ox.
16 Behold, his strength in his loins,
and his power in the muscles of his belly.
17 He makes his tail stiff like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18 His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like bars of iron.
19 “He is ^cthe first of ^dthe works ^{▼▼Hebrew ways} of God;
let him who made him bring near his sword!
20 For the mountains yield food for him
where all the wild beasts play.
21 Under the lotus plants he lies,
in the shelter of ^fthe reeds and in the marsh.
22 For his shade the lotus trees cover him;
the willows of the brook surround him.
23 Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened;
he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
24 Can one take him by his eyes, ^{▼▼Or in his sight}
or pierce his nose with a snare?

Jeremiah 27:5-6

5 “It is I who ^hby my great power and my outstretched arm ⁱhave made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, ^jand I give it to whomever it seems right to me. 6 ^kNow I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ^lmy servant, ^mand I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him.

Daniel 2:38

38 and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, ⁿthe beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all—you are ^othe head of gold.
