21 Under the lotus plants it lies,

hidden among the reeds in the marsh.

22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow;

the poplars by the stream surround it.

23 A raging river does not alarm it;

it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth.

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.

21 It lies under the lotus plants,

hidden by the reeds in the marsh.

22 The lotus plants give it shade

among the willows beside the stream.

23 It is not disturbed by the raging river,

not concerned when the swelling Jordan rushes around it.

21 He lies under the lotus trees,

In a covert of reeds and marsh.

22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade;

The willows by the brook surround him.

23 Indeed the river may rage,

Yet he is not disturbed;

He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth,

21 It lies under the lotus plants,

hidden by the tall grass in the swamp.

22 The lotus plants hide it in their shadow;

the poplar trees by the streams surround it.

23 If the river floods, it will not be afraid;

it is safe even if the Jordan River rushes to its mouth.

21 He lieth under the lotus-trees,

In the covert of the reed, and the fen.

22 The lotus-trees cover him with their shade;

The willows of the brook compass him about.

23 Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not;

He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.

21 He lieth under lotus-bushes, in the covert of the reed and fen: 22 Lotus-bushes cover him with their shade; the willows of the brook surround him. 23 Lo, the river overfloweth—he startleth not: he is confident though a Jordan break forth against his mouth.

21 It lies down under the lotus plants 

in a hiding place among reeds and swamps. 

22 Lotus plants provide it with cover. 

Poplars by the stream surround it. 

23 Though the river flows powerfully against it, it’s not alarmed. 

It’s confident ⸤even⸥ when the Jordan rushes against its mouth. 

21 He lies under the lotus plants,

hiding in the protection of marshy reeds.

22 Lotus plants cover him with their shade;

the willows by the brook surround him.

23 Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid;

he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth.

21 Under the lotus plants it lies,

in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh.

22 The lotus trees cover it for shade;

the willows of the wadi surround it.

23 Even if the river is turbulent, it is not frightened;

it is confident though Jordan rushes against its mouth.

21 Under the lotus tree it lies,

in the hiding place of the reeds and in the marsh.

22 The lotus trees cover it with their shade;

the wadi’s poplar trees surround it.

23 Look, if the river is turbulent, it is not frightened;

it is confident even though the Jordan rushes against its mouth.

21 It lies under lotus plants.

It hides in tall grass in the swamps.

22 The lotus plants hide it in their shade.

Poplar trees near streams surround it.

23 It is not afraid when the river roars.

It is secure even when the Jordan River rushes against its mouth.

21 “Under the lotus plants he lies down,

In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.

22 “The lotus plants cover him with shade;

The willows of the brook surround him.

23 “If a river rages, he is not alarmed;

He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.
