15 Observa o beemote, ao qual eu fiz contigo; ele come erva come como o boi.

16 Eis que sua força está em seus lombos, e seu poder na musculatura de seu ventre.

17 Ele torna sua cauda dura como o cedro, e os nervos de suas coxas são entretecidos.

18 Seus ossos são [como] tubos de bronze; seus membros, como barras de ferro.

19 Ele é a obra-prima dos caminhos de Deus; aquele que o fez o proveu de sua espada.
