Hiob 41:27 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:27

He esteemeth iron as straw
You may as well cast a straw at him as a bar of iron; it will make no impression on his steeled back, which is as a coat of mail to him; so Eustathius affirms F4 that the sharpest iron is rebounded and blunted by him;

[and] brass as rotten wood;
or steel, any instrument made of it, though ever so strong or piercing.

F4 Apud ibid. (Bochard. Hierozoic. par. 2. l. 5. c. 17. col. 785.)

Hiob 41:27 In-Context

25 (H41:16) Vor seinem Erheben fürchten sich Starke, vor Verzagtheit geraten sie außer sich.
26 (H41:17) Trifft man ihn mit dem Schwerte, es hält nicht stand, noch Speer, noch Wurfspieß, noch Harpune.
27 (H41:18) Das Eisen achtet er für Stroh, das Erz für faules Holz.
28 (H41:19) Der Pfeil jagt ihn nicht in die Flucht, Schleudersteine verwandeln sich ihm in Stoppeln.
29 (H41:20) Wie Stoppeln gilt ihm die Keule, und er verlacht das Sausen des Wurfspießes.
