Bible in Basic English
"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."
— Job 40:23, Bible in Basic English
“Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.”
“Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth. ”
“Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.”
He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play.
He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants.
He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him.
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.
Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose?
