22. The lotus trees cover him with their shade;all about him are the poplars in the wadi.
23. If the river grows violent, he is not disturbed;he is tranquil though the Jordan surges about his mouth.
24. Who can capture him by his eyes,or pierce his nose with a trap?

26. Can you put a ring into his nose,or pierce through his cheek with a gaff?
27. Will he then plead with you, time after time,or address you with tender words?
