That your own right hand can save you.
God’s Power Shown in Creatures
15
“Behold now, [a]Behemoth, which I created as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.

And his power is in the muscles and sinews of his belly.
Footnotes
- Job 40:15 Or the hippopotamus. Although Behemoth cannot be identified with certainty, the biblical description seems most like the hippopotamus. In ancient times it may have been even more formidable than today. In Job’s day the hippopotamus was the largest known creature, was commonly found in the lower Nile River, and may also have existed in the Jordan.
