Job 39:22 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:22

He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted
At those things which cause fear and fright to men; as arms, though ever so terrible, and armies, though never so numerous;

neither turneth he back from the sword;
the naked sword, when it is drawn against him, and ready to be thrust into him; the horse being so bold and courageous was with the Egyptians a symbol of courage and boldness F22.

Job 39:22 In-Context

20 numquid suscitabis eum quasi lucustas gloria narium eius terror
21 terram ungula fodit exultat audacter in occursum pergit armatis
22 contemnit pavorem nec cedit gladio
23 super ipsum sonabit faretra vibrabit hasta et clypeus
24 fervens et fremens sorbet terram nec reputat tubae sonare clangorem
