Job 41:9-19

9 sternutatio eius splendor ignis et oculi eius ut palpebrae diluculi

10 de ore eius lampades procedunt sicut taedae ignis accensae

11 de naribus eius procedit fumus sicut ollae succensae atque ferventis

12 halitus eius prunas ardere facit et flamma de ore eius egreditur

13 in collo eius morabitur fortitudo et faciem eius praecedet egestas

14 membra carnium eius coherentia sibi mittet contra eum fulmina et ad locum alium non ferentur

15 cor eius indurabitur quasi lapis et stringetur quasi malleatoris incus

16 cum sublatus fuerit timebunt angeli et territi purgabuntur

17 cum adprehenderit eum gladius subsistere non poterit neque hasta neque torax

18 reputabit enim quasi paleas ferrum et quasi lignum putridum aes

19 non fugabit eum vir sagittarius in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fundae

Job 41:9-19 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.
