Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble.
He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Job 40:23 in context
Job 40:20–24

Surely the mountains produce food for him,
where all the animals of the field play.
21
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

or pierce through his nose with a snare?
