Job 41:27-34

27 It counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.

28 The arrow cannot make it flee; slingstones, for it, are turned to chaff.

29 Clubs are counted as chaff; it laughs at the rattle of javelins.

30 Its underparts are like sharp potsherds; it spreads itself like a threshing sledge on the mire.

31 It makes the deep boil like a pot; it makes the sea like a pot of ointment.

32 It leaves a shining wake behind it; one would think the deep to be white-haired.

33 On earth it has no equal, a creature without fear.

34 It surveys everything that is lofty; it is king over all that are proud."

Job 41:27-34 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 41

A large description is here given of the leviathan, from the difficulty and danger of taking it, from whence it is inferred that none can stand before God, Job 41:1-10; from the several parts of him, his face, teeth, scales, eyes, mouth and neck, flesh and heart, Job 41:11-24; and from various wonderful terrible things said of him, and ascribed to him, Job 41:25-34.
