Job 40:21 in Context — Job 40

19 Ele é a obra-prima dos caminhos de Deus; aquele que o fez o proveu de sua espada.

20 Pois os montes lhe produzem pasto; por isso todos os animais do campo ali se alegram.

21 Ele se deita debaixo das árvores sombrias; no esconderijo das canas e da lama.

22 As árvores sombrias o cobrem, cada uma com sua sombra; os salgueiros do ribeiro o cercam.

23 Ainda que o rio se torne violento, ele não se apressa; confia ainda que o Jordão transborde até sua boca.
