Job 41:8

8 una alteri adherebunt et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur

Job 41:8 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:8

Lay thine hand upon him
If thou canst or darest. It is dangerous so to do, either to the whale or crocodile;

remember the battle;
or "look for war", as Mr. Broughton renders it; expect a fight will ensue, in which thou wilt have no share with this creature:

do no more;
if thou canst by any means escape, take care never to do the like again; or thou wilt never do so any more, thou wilt certainly die for it.

Job 41:8 In-Context

6 corpus illius quasi scuta fusilia et conpactum squamis se prementibus
7 una uni coniungitur et ne spiraculum quidem incedit per eas
8 una alteri adherebunt et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur
9 sternutatio eius splendor ignis et oculi eius ut palpebrae diluculi
10 de ore eius lampades procedunt sicut taedae ignis accensae
