Parallel JOB 40:23

---

BSB Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid;
⇔ he remains secure, though the Jordan surges to his mouth.

OEB From the wild rushing torrent he flees not;
⇔ He is calm in the swell of a Jordan.

WEB Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble.
⇔ He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.

MSG ^(15-24)“Look at the land beast, Behemoth. I created him as well as you.
  Grazing on grass, docile as a cow—
Just look at the strength of his back,
  the powerful muscles of his belly.
His tail sways like a cedar in the wind;
  his huge legs are like beech trees.
His skeleton is made of steel,
  every bone in his body hard as steel.
Most magnificent of all my creatures,
  but I still lead him around like a lamb!
The grass-covered hills serve him meals,
  while field mice frolic in his shadow.
He takes afternoon naps under shade trees,
  cools himself in the reedy swamps,
Lazily cool in the leafy shadows
  as the breeze moves through the willows.
And when the river rages he doesn’t budge,
  stolid and unperturbed even when the Jordan goes wild.
But you’d never want him for a pet—
  you’d never be able to housebreak him!”

NET If the river rages, it is not disturbed,
 ⇔ it is secure, though the Jordan
 ⇔ should surge up to its mouth.

LSV Behold, a flood oppresses—he does not hurry,
He is confident though Jordan
Comes forth to his mouth.

FBV Even if the river is in flood, it is not concerned; it remains calm when the Jordan river surges against it.

T4T They are not disturbed by raging/swiftly-flowing rivers;
⇔ they are not even disturbed/frightened when rivers like the Jordan River rush over them.

LEB  • if the river is turbulent, it is not frightened; it is confident even though the Jordan rushes against its mouth.

BBE Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.
