Job 40:18KJV·author unknown
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
God, for the further proving of his own power and disproving of Job's pretensions, concludes his discourse with the description of two vast and mighty animals, far exceeding man in bulk and strength, one he calls behemoth, the other leviathan. In these verses we have the former described.
