Job 40:23
King James Version (KJV)
Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
In context
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.
