Job 40:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 40:20

18 His bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.

19 He is the first of the ^aways of God;
Only He who made him can bring near His sword.

20 Surely the mountains ^ayield food for him,
And all the beasts of the field play there.

21 He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.

22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade;
The willows by the brook surround him.

23 Indeed the river may rage,
Yet he is not disturbed;
He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth,

24 Though he takes it in his eyes,
Or one pierces his nose with a snare.
