Job 41:28-34

28 Arrows cannot make it flee. Stones shot from a sling are like bits of grass.

29 Clubs are like a blade of grass, and it laughs at the swish of javelins.

30 Its belly is covered with scales as sharp as glass. It plows up the ground as it drags through the mud.

31 “Leviathan makes the water boil with its commotion. It stirs the depths like a pot of ointment.

32 The water glistens in its wake, making the sea look white.

33 Nothing on earth is its equal, no other creature so fearless.

34 Of all the creatures, it is the proudest. It is the king of beasts.”

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.
