American Standard Version
"Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth. "
— Job 40:23, American Standard Version
“Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.”
“Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.”
“If the river rages, it is not disturbed, it is secure, though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.”
“Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?”
“Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.”
“Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.”
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the beasts of the field do play.
He lieth under the lotus-trees, In the covert of the reed, and the fen.
The lotus-trees cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook compass him about.
Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.
Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?
