Scripture Context

Job 40:18 - Job 41:3

18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

19 He is the chief of the ways of God; he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not; he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

24 He taketh it with his eyes; his nose pierceth through snares.
