Job 40
1 Then the Lord said to Job,
2 “Do you still want to argue with the Almighty?
You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?”
Job Responds to the Lord
3 Then Job replied to the Lord,
4 “I am nothing—how could I ever find the answers?
I will cover my mouth with my hand.
5 I have said too much already.
I have nothing more to say.”
The Lord Challenges Job Again
6 Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:
7 “Brace yourself like a man,
because I have some questions for you,
and you must answer them.
8 “Will you discredit my justice
and condemn me just to prove you are right?
9 Are you as strong as God?
Can you thunder with a voice like his?
10 All right, put on your glory and splendor,
your honor and majesty.
11 Give vent to your anger.
Let it overflow against the proud.
12 Humiliate the proud with a glance;
walk on the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury them in the dust.
Imprison them in the world of the dead.
14 Then even I would praise you,
for your own strength would save you.
15 “Take a look at Behemoth,[a]
which I made, just as I made you.
It eats grass like an ox.
16 See its powerful loins
and the muscles of its belly.
17 Its tail is as strong as a cedar.
The sinews of its thighs are knit tightly together.
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze.
Its limbs are bars of iron.
19 It is a prime example of God’s handiwork,
and only its Creator can threaten it.
20 The mountains offer it their best food,
where all the wild animals play.
21 It lies under the lotus plants,[b]
hidden by the reeds in the marsh.
22 The lotus plants give it shade
among the willows beside the stream.
23 It is not disturbed by the raging river,
not concerned when the swelling Jordan rushes around it.
24 No one can catch it off guard
or put a ring in its nose and lead it away.
Footnotes:
40:15 The identification of Behemoth is disputed, ranging from an earthly creature to a mythical sea monster in ancient literature.
40:21 Or bramble bushes; also in 40:22.

Great chapter. Job 39:9-10 in the KJV it says
“Will the UNICORN be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
Canst thou bind the UNICORN with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valley after thee?”
Edited: And obviously the next two verses 11 and 12 continues to talk about the animal, but many people thinks that the Bible is speaking about the modern idea of the mystical unicorn; a horse with one horn. But unicorn actually means: one horn. And in this case it could also be speaking about the Rhino. Who can try to have a rhino perform farm labor? lol
The behemoth (Be-He-Muth) is definitely not a hippopotamus. It is talking about land creature which a hippo definitely isn’t the greatest.
This text is definitely in reference to a dinosaur and probably a Argentinosaurus
Hippos don’t have a tail like a cedar tree
