Job 40:21

“And yet though Lucifer be fallen (the old serpent after his fall),“his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.” — editor's note: Job xl. 16, 21. R.V. “He lieth under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed and the fen.”

“And though speaking words so many and so great in his boldness, without doubt, like a dragon he was drawn with a hook by the Saviour, and as a beast of burden he received the halter round his nostrils, and as a runaway his nostrils were bound with a ring, and his lips bored with an armlet.” — editor's note: Ibid. 2. Cf. Job xl. 19–24
