Job 40:18

CreationGod's power and sovereignty

16 See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.

17 His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.

His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are rods of iron.

19 He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.

20 The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.
