Job 41:29-34

29 He treats a club like straw; he laughs at the lance's rattle.
30 His abdomen is like jagged pottery shards; its sharp edges leave a trail in the mud.
31 He causes the depths to churn like a boiling pot, stirs up the sea like a pot of scented oils,
32 leaves a bright wake behind him; the frothy deep seems white-haired.
33 None on earth can compare to him; he is made to be without fear.
34 He looks on all the proud; he is king over all proud beasts.

Job 41:29-34 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 41

A large description is here given of the leviathan, from the difficulty and danger of taking it, from whence it is inferred that none can stand before God, Job 41:1-10; from the several parts of him, his face, teeth, scales, eyes, mouth and neck, flesh and heart, Job 41:11-24; and from various wonderful terrible things said of him, and ascribed to him, Job 41:25-34.
