Jó 41:9

Listen to Jó 41:9
9 Eis que é vã a esperança de apanhá-lo; pois não será um homem derrubado só ao vê-lo?

Jó 41:9 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:9

Behold, the hope of him is in vain
Of getting the mastery over him, or of taking him; and yet both crocodiles and whales have been taken; nor is the taking of them to be despaired of; but it seems the "orca", or the whale with many teeth, has never been taken and killed F15;

shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him?
the sight of a whale is terrible to mariners, lest their ships should be overturned by it; and some have been so frightened at the sight of a crocodile as to lose their senses: and we read of one that was greatly terrified at seeing the shadow of one; and the creature before mentioned is supposed to be much more terrible F16.

Jó 41:9 In-Context

7 Poderás encher-lhe a pele de arpões, ou a cabeça de fisgas?
8 Põe a tua mão sobre ele; lembra-te da peleja; nunca mais o farás!
9 Eis que é vã a esperança de apanhá-lo; pois não será um homem derrubado só ao vê-lo?
10 Ninguém há tão ousado, que se atreva a despertá-lo; quem, pois, é aquele que pode erguer-se diante de mim?
11 Quem primeiro me deu a mim, para que eu haja de retribuir-lhe? Pois tudo quanto existe debaixo de todo céu é meu.
