Job 40:17 in Context — Job 40
15 Il trouve sa pâture dans les montagnes, Où se jouent toutes les bêtes des champs.
16 Il se couche sous les lotus, Au milieu des roseaux et des marécages;
17 Les lotus le couvrent de leur ombre, Les saules du torrent l’environnent.
18 Que le fleuve vienne à déborder, il ne s’enfuit pas: Que le Jourdain se précipite dans sa gueule, il reste calme.
19 Est-ce à force ouverte qu’on pourra le saisir? Est-ce au moyen de filets qu’on lui percera le nez?
