The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

Verse 22 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.

Das Gebüsch bedeckt ihn mit seinem Schatten, und die Bachweiden umgeben ihn.
Los árboles sombríos lo cubren con su sombra; Los sauces del arroyo lo cercan.
Les lotus le couvrent de leur ombre, Les saules du torrent l'environnent.
Gli alberi ombrosi lo coprono con l’ombra loro; I salci de’ torrenti l’intorniano.
As árvores sombrias o cobrem, com sua sombra; os salgueiros do ribeiro o cercam.
蓮葉的陰影遮蔽牠, 溪旁的柳樹環繞牠。
