Hiob 41:24

Listen to Hiob 41:24
24 (H41:15) Sein Herz ist hart wie Stein, und hart wie ein unterer Mühlstein.

Hiob 41:24 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:24

His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of
the nether [millstone].
] Which must be understood not of the substance but of the qualities of it, being bold, courageous, undaunted, and unmerciful; which is true both of the whale and crocodile, and particularly of the crocodile: Aelianus F26 relates of one sort of them that they are unmerciful, though elsewhere F1, he represents them as fearful.
