So verse 18 talks about a beast, then the next verse talks about something totally unrelated to a beast, but then verse 20 goes on talking about a beast again? If this was your point, I’m not sure how that all fits together.
17 His tail [b] sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.18 His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron.
19 He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword.
Verse 17 clearly talks about the beast, as does verse 18. Verse 19 starts with "He", about the beast, and calls it the first among the works of God. And then we find out about his Maker - God - can approach him with his sword. Not you, not me, not anyone else. The beast's Maker - God.
It seems pretty clear to me, quite explicit if you take the words at face value. The beast has a tail that moves like a cedar, and has bones like tubes of bronze with arms like iron. And while the beast is the biggest and baddest God ever made, God can still approach with His sword.
