What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly!

Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.

See its powerful loins and the muscles of its belly.

Look at the strength of his back  and the power in the muscles of his belly.

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, And his force is in the navel of his belly.

See now, his strength is in his hips, And his power is in his stomach muscles.

“Look at the land beast, Behemoth. I created him as well as you. Grazing on grass, docile as a cow— Just look at the strength of his back, the powerful muscles of his belly. His tail sways like a cedar in the wind; his huge legs are like beech trees. His skeleton is made of steel, every bone in his body hard as steel. Most magnificent of all my creatures, but I still lead him around like a lamb! The grass-covered hills serve him meals, while field mice frolic in his shadow. He takes afternoon naps under shade trees, cools himself in the reedy swamps, Lazily cool in the leafy shadows as the breeze moves through the willows. And when the river rages he doesn’t budge, stolid and unperturbed even when the Jordan goes wild. But you’d never want him for a pet— you’d never be able to housebreak him!”

“Behold, his strength in his waist, And his power in the muscles of his belly.

“See now, his strength is in his loins And his power is in the muscles and sinews of his belly.

Look at its strength in its loins, and its power in the muscles of its belly.
