Job 40:23

If the river rages, ¹  it is not disturbed, it is secure, ²  though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.

When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth.

"If a river rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.

It is not disturbed by raging rivers, not even when the swelling Jordan rushes down upon it.

And when the river rages he doesn't budge, stolid and unperturbed even when the Jordan goes wild.

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.

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

Indeed the river may rage, Yet he is not disturbed; He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth,

If the river rages, ¹  it is not disturbed, it is secure, ²  though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.

¹ tn The word ordinarily means “to oppress.” So many commentators have proposed suitable changes: “overflows” (Beer), “gushes” (Duhm), “swells violently” (Dhorme, from a word that means “be strong”).

² tn Or “he remains calm.”
