Hiob 41:30 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:30

Sharp stones [are] under him
And yet give him no pain nor uneasiness;

he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire;
and makes his bed of them and lies upon them; as sharp stones, as before, shells of fishes, broken pieces of darts, arrows, and javelins thrown at him, which fall around him: this does not so well agree with the crocodile, the skin of whose belly is soft and thin; wherefore dolphins plunge under it and cut it with a thorn, as Pliny F8 relates, or with spiny fins F9; but with the whale, which lies among hard rocks and sharp stones, and large cutting pieces of ice, as in the northern seas.

Hiob 41:30 In-Context

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.
30 (H41:21) Unter ihm sind scharfe Scherben; einen Dreschschlitten breitet er hin auf den Schlamm.
31 (H41:22) Er macht die Tiefe sieden wie einen Topf, macht das Meer wie einen Salbenkessel.
32 (H41:23) Hinter ihm leuchtet der Pfad, man könnte die Tiefe für graues Haar halten.
