Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Verse 20 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.

Die Berge tragen ihm Kräuter, und alle wilden Tiere spielen daselbst.
Ciertamente los montes producen hierba para él: Y toda bestia del campo retoza allá.
Las montañas le producen alimento, donde juegan todas las fieras del campo.
Il trouve sa pâture dans les montagnes, Où se jouent toutes les bêtes des champs.
Perchè i monti gli producono il pasco, Tutte le bestie della campagna vi scherzano.
Em verdade os montes lhe produzem pastos, onde todos os animais do campo folgam.
諸山為牠產出食物, 百獸也在那裏遊玩。
