Jó 41:25

25 Quando ele se ergue, os poderosos se apavoram;fogem com medo dos seus golpes.

Jó 41:25 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:25

When he raiseth up himself
Not out of the waters, but above the surface of them, so as that his large bulk, his terrible jaws and teeth, are seem;

the mighty are afraid;
not only fishes and other animals, but men, and these the most stouthearted and courageous, as mariners and masters of vessels;

by reason of breakings they purify themselves:
either because of the breaches of the sea made through the lifting up of this creature, threatening the overturning of vessels; or of the breaches of men's hearts through fear, they are thrown into a vomiting, and purging both by stool and urine, which are often the effects of fear, so Ben Gersom; or they acknowledge themselves sinners, or expiate themselves, endeavouring to do it by making confession of sin, declaring repentance for it, praying for forgiveness of it, and promising amendment; which is frequently the case of seafaring men in distress; see ( Jonah 1:4-17 ) .

Jó 41:25 In-Context

23 As dobras da sua carne são fortemente unidas;são tão firmes que não se movem.

24 Seu peito é duro como pedra,rijo como a pedra inferior do moinho.

25 Quando ele se ergue, os poderosos se apavoram;fogem com medo dos seus golpes.

26 A espada que o atinge nada lhe faz,nem a lança nem a flecha nem o dardo.

27 Ferro ele trata como palha,e bronze como madeira podre.
