Job 40:19 in Context — Job 40

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?

20 Prendras-tu le crocodile à l’hameçon? Saisiras-tu sa langue avec une corde?

21 Mettras-tu un jonc dans ses narines? Lui perceras-tu la mâchoire avec un crochet?
