He lies under the lotus trees,
in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Job 40:21 in context
Job 40:18–24
18
His bones are like tubes of bronze.
His limbs are like bars of iron.

He is the chief of the ways of God.
He who made him gives him his sword.
20
Surely the mountains produce food for him,
where all the animals of the field play.

Selected verse
He lies under the lotus trees,
in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22
The lotuses cover him with their shade.
The willows of the brook surround him.
23
Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble.
He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24
Shall any take him when he is on the watch,
or pierce through his nose with a snare?
