Job 40:17-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 40
17He hangs his tail like a cedar; The tendons of his thighs are knit together. 18His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron. 19'He is the first of the ways of God; Let his Maker bring His sword near. 20Indeed the mountains bring him food, And all the animals of the field play there. 21He lies down under the lotus plants, In the hiding place of the reeds and the marsh. 22The lotus plants cover him with shade; The willows of the brook surround him.King James Version
Chapter 40
17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 40
17He stiffens his tail like a cedar tree; the tendons of his thighs are woven firmly together. 18His bones are bronze tubes; his limbs are like iron rods. 19He is the foremost of God's works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him. 20The hills yield food for him, while all sorts of wild animals play there. 21He lies under the lotus plants, hiding in the protection of marshy reeds. 22Lotus plants cover him with their shade; the willows by the brook surround him.New Living Translation

17Its tail is as strong as a cedar. The sinews of its thighs are knit tightly together. 18Its bones are tubes of bronze. Its limbs are bars of iron. 19It is a prime example of God’s handiwork, and only its Creator can threaten it. 20The mountains offer it their best food, where all the wild animals play. 21It lies under the lotus plants, hidden by the reeds in the marsh. 22The lotus plants give it shade among the willows beside the stream.English Standard Version

17Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit. 18Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron. 19It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword. 20The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. 21Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. 22The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it.New King James Version
