Job 41:9

9 Es inútil tratar de capturarlo;
el cazador que lo intente será derribado.

Job 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.

Job 41:9 In-Context

7 ¿Será herida su piel por las lanzas
o su cabeza por un arpón?

8 Si le pones la mano encima,
te dará una batalla que no olvidarás.
¡No volverás a intentarlo!

9 Es inútil tratar de capturarlo;
el cazador que lo intente será derribado.

10 Y como nadie se atreve a molestarlo a él,
¿quién podrá hacerme frente a mí?

11 ¿Quién me ha dado algo para que tenga que pagárselo?
Todo lo que hay debajo del cielo es mío.
