Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

KJV

Numquid feriet tecum pactum, et accipies eum servum sempiternum ?

Vulgate

θήσεται διαθήκην μετὰ σοῦ; λήμψῃ δὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλον αἰώνιον;

LXX

Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.
