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

Verse 16 is found in chapter 40 of Job. God presents Behemoth as an extraordinarily powerful creature, described through images of strength, bones, tail, and feeding. The point does not depend on identifying it with a specific modern species, but on showing a creature whose power far exceeds human control. God, by contrast, is presented as the one who knows and governs even such power.

Siehe seine Kraft ist in seinen Lenden und sein Vermögen in den Sehnen seines Bauches.
He aquí ahora que su fuerza está en sus lomos, Y su fortaleza en el ombligo de su vientre.
Mira su fuerza en los lomos y su vigor en los músculos del vientre.
Le voici! Sa force est dans ses reins, Et sa vigueur dans les muscles de son ventre;
Ecco, la sua forza è ne’ lombi, E la sua possa nei muscoli del suo ventre.
Eis que a sua força está nos seus lombos, e o seu poder nos músculos do seu ventre.
看哪,牠的力氣在腰間, 能力在肚腹的肌肉上。
