Well, I don’t know if that verse applies to dinosaurs, but none of the three, elephant, hippo, or rhino have tails like a cedar tree.

But the bible is not a book written to explicitly describe scientific happenings. It does have some remarkable scientific descriptions way ahead of its time, though.

By the way, the book of Job is considered the oldest book. So if dinosaurs were in any book, that would be the one.

If dinosaurs were kicking around with humans during the past several thousand years we would find their bones in archaeological sites.

We do not find them. We find just about every other critter, all the way from minnow bones up to the bones of extinct mammoths and mastodons, but no dinos.

Of course, maybe we're looking in layers that are 65 million years too young, eh?

I see that you do not really study the Bible but rely on the creationists' websites for you info.

The passage states:

He bends his tail like a cedar

That doesn't say that the creature has a tail that looks like a cedar, just that it moves (i.e., sways) like a cedar tree. Elephant and hippo tails are like that.
