Giobbe 41:9

Listen to Giobbe 41:9
9 Ecco, la speranza di pigliarlo è fallace; Anzi l’uomo non sarà egli atterrato, solo a vederlo?

Giobbe 41:9 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:9

Behold, the hope of him is in vain
Of getting the mastery over him, or of taking him; and yet both crocodiles and whales have been taken; nor is the taking of them to be despaired of; but it seems the "orca", or the whale with many teeth, has never been taken and killed F15;

shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him?
the sight of a whale is terrible to mariners, lest their ships should be overturned by it; and some have been so frightened at the sight of a crocodile as to lose their senses: and we read of one that was greatly terrified at seeing the shadow of one; and the creature before mentioned is supposed to be much more terrible F16.

Giobbe 41:9 In-Context

7 Gli empirai tu la pelle di roncigli, E la testa di raffi da pescare?
8 Pongli pur la mano addosso, Tu non ricorderai mai più la guerra.
9 Ecco, la speranza di pigliarlo è fallace; Anzi l’uomo non sarà egli atterrato, solo a vederlo?
10 Non vi è alcuno così feroce, che ardisca risvegliarlo; E chi potrà presentarsi davanti a me?
11 Chi mi ha prevenuto in darmi cosa alcuna? ed io gliela renderò; Quello che è sotto tutti i cieli è mio.
