Job 40:17 Context

◄ Job 40:17 ►

His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.

Context

17“He bends his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

18“His bones are tubes of bronze;
His limbs are like bars of iron.

19“He is the first of the ways of God;
Let his maker bring near his sword.

20“Surely the mountains bring him food,
And all the beasts of the field play there.

21“Under the lotus plants he lies down,
In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.

22“The lotus plants cover him with shade;
The willows of the brook surround him.

23“If a river rages, he is not alarmed;
He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.

24“Can anyone capture him when he is on watch,
With barbs can anyone pierce his nose?
