Job 40:20-22
Easy-to-Read Version
20 He eats the grass that grows on the hills
where the wild animals play.
21 He lies under the lotus plants.
He hides among the reeds of the swamp.
22 The lotus plants hide him in their shade.
He lives under the willow trees that grow near the river.
Job 40:20-22

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.
