Job 41:27-34

27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

28 The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned by him into stubble.

29 Darts are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

30 Sharp potsherds are his undersides; he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

34 He beholdeth all high things; he is a king over all the children of pride."

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.
