Job 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.)

Job 41:27 In-Context

25 Quand il se lève, les plus vaillants ont peur, Et l'épouvante les fait fuir.
26 C'est en vain qu'on l'attaque avec l'épée; La lance, le javelot, la cuirasse, ne servent à rien.
27 Il regarde le fer comme de la paille, L'airain comme du bois pourri.
28 La flèche ne le met pas en fuite, Les pierres de la fronde sont pour lui du chaume.
29 Il ne voit dans la massue qu'un brin de paille, Il rit au sifflement des dards.
