Job 40:19-24

19It ranks first among the works of God, the One who made it has furnished it with a sword.

20For the hills bring it food, where all the wild animals play.

21Under the lotus trees it lies, in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh.

22The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it.

23If the river rages, it is not disturbed, it is secure, though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.

24Can anyone catch it by its eyes, or pierce its nose with a snare?
