Job 41:23

23 post eum lucebit semita aestimabit abyssum quasi senescentem

Job 41:23 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:23

The flakes of his flesh are joined together
The muscles of his hefty are not flaccid and flabby, but solid and firmly compacted;

they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved;
that is, not very easily, not without a large sharp cutting knife, and that used with much strength.

Job 41:23 In-Context

21 sub ipso erunt radii solis sternet sibi aurum quasi lutum
22 fervescere faciet quasi ollam profundum mare ponet quasi cum unguenta bulliunt
23 post eum lucebit semita aestimabit abyssum quasi senescentem
24 non est super terram potestas quae conparetur ei qui factus est ut nullum timeret
25 omne sublime videt ipse est rex super universos filios superbiae
