Job 41:28-34

28 Arrows do not make it run away. Stones that are thrown from slings are like straw hitting it.

29 A club seems like a piece of straw to it. It laughs when it hears a javelin rattling.

30 Its undersides are like broken pieces of pottery. It leaves a trail in the mud like a threshing sled.

31 It makes the ocean churn like a boiling pot. It stirs up the sea like perfume someone is making.

32 It leaves a shiny trail behind it. You would think the ocean had white hair.

33 Nothing on earth is equal to the leviathan. That creature is not afraid of anything.

34 It looks down on proud people. It rules over all those who are proud."

Job 41:28-34 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.
