Job 40:23 in Context — Job 40
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.
24 Poderiam, por acaso, capturá-lo à vista de seus olhos, [ou] com laços furar suas narinas?
