Jó 41:28

28 As flechas não o afugentam,as pedras das fundas são como cisco para ele.

Jó 41:28 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:28

The arrow cannot make him flee
The skin of the crocodile is so hard, as Peter Martyr says, that it cannot be pierced with arrows, as before observed; therefore it is not afraid of them, nor will flee from them;

slingstones are turned with him into stubble;
are no more regarded by him than if stubble was cast at him; not only stones out of a sling, but out of an engine; and such is the hardness of the skin of the crocodile, that, as Isidore says ^F5, the strokes of the strongest stones are rebounded by it, yea, even it is said to withstand against musket shot ^F6.

Jó 41:28 In-Context

26 A espada que o atinge nada lhe faz,nem a lança nem a flecha nem o dardo.

27 Ferro ele trata como palha,e bronze como madeira podre.

28 As flechas não o afugentam,as pedras das fundas são como cisco para ele.

29 O bastão lhe parece fiapo de palha;o brandir da grande lança o faz rir.

30 Seu ventre é como caco denteadoe deixa rastro na lama como o trilho de debulhar.
