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 De su grandeza tienen temor los fuertes, Y á causa de su desfallecimiento hacen por purificarse.
26 Cuando alguno lo alcanzare, ni espada, Ni lanza, ni dardo, ni coselete durará.
27 El hierro estima por pajas, Y el acero por leño podrido.
28 Saeta no le hace huir; Las piedras de honda se le tornan aristas.
29 Tiene toda arma por hojarascas, Y del blandir de la pica se burla.
