Giobbe 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.)

Giobbe 41:27 In-Context

25 I più forti e valenti hanno paura di lui, quando egli si alza; E si purgano de’ lor peccati, per lo gran fracasso.
26 Nè la spada di chi l’aggiungerà potrà durare, Nè l’asta, nè lo spuntone, nè la corazza:
27 Egli reputa il ferro per paglia, E il rame per legno intarlato.
28 La saetta non lo farà fuggire; Le pietre della frombola si mutano inverso lui in istoppia.
29 Gli ordigni son da lui riputati stoppia; Ed egli si beffa del vibrare dello spuntone.
