Job 40:23

21 He lies under the lotus plants, hidden among the reeds of the marsh.

22 The lotus plants conceal him in their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.

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

24 Can anyone capture him as he looks on, or pierce his nose with a snare?
