"Consider the chief of the beasts, the crocodile
Who devours cattle as if they were grass.
What strength is in his loins.
What power in the muscles of his belly...
He is the chief of God's works,
Made to be a tyrant over his peers,
For he takes the animals of the hills for his prey
And in his jaws he crushes all wild beasts.
There under the lotus plants he lies
Hidden in the reeds and the marsh
The lotus flower conceals him in its shadow..."

The book of job, old testament
