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.


FOOTNOTES:

F4 Apud ibid. (Bochard. Hierozoic. par. 2. l. 5. c. 17. col. 785.)

Job 41:27 In-Context

25 Cuando se yergue, los poderosos tiemblan;cuando se sacude, emprenden la huida.
26 La espada, aunque lo alcance, no lo hiere,ni lo hieren tampoco los dardos,ni las lanzas y las jabalinas.
27 Al hierro lo trata como a paja,y al bronce como a madera podrida.
28 No lo hacen huir las flechas;ve como paja las piedras de las hondas.
29 Los golpes del mazo apenas le hacen cosquillas;se burla del silbido de la lanza.
