40:19 It ranks first among the works of God, 1
the One who made it
has furnished it with a sword. 2
40:20 For the hills bring it food, 3
where all the wild animals play.
40:21 Under the lotus trees it lies,
in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh.
40:22 The lotus trees conceal it in their 4 shadow;
the poplars by the stream conceal it.
40:23 If the river rages, 5 it is not disturbed,
it is secure, 6 though the Jordan
should surge up to its mouth.
40:24 Can anyone catch it by its eyes, 7
or pierce its nose with a snare? 8
