Giobbe 41:30

Listen to Giobbe 41:30
30 Egli ha sotto di sè de’ testi pungenti; Egli striscia come una trebbia di ferro in sul pantano.

Giobbe 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.

Giobbe 41:30 In-Context

28 La saetta non lo farĂ  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.
30 Egli ha sotto di sè de’ testi pungenti; Egli striscia come una trebbia di ferro in sul pantano.
31 Egli fa bollire il profondo mare come una caldaia; Egli rende il mare simile a una composizione d’unguentaro.
32 Egli fa rilucere dietro a sè un sentiero, E l’abisso pare canuto.
