Job 41:22 Context

◄ Job 41:22 ►

Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.

Context

22“In his neck lodges strength,
And dismay leaps before him.

23“The folds of his flesh are joined together,
Firm on him and immovable.

24“His heart is as hard as a stone,
Even as hard as a lower millstone.

25“When he raises himself up, the mighty fear;
Because of the crashing they are bewildered.

26“The sword that reaches him cannot avail,
Nor the spear, the dart or the javelin.

27“He regards iron as straw,
Bronze as rotten wood.

28“The arrow cannot make him flee;
Slingstones are turned into stubble for him.

29“Clubs are regarded as stubble;
He laughs at the rattling of the javelin.

30“His underparts are like sharp potsherds;
He spreads out like a threshing sledge on the mire.

31“He makes the depths boil like a pot;
He makes the sea like a jar of ointment.

32“Behind him he makes a wake to shine;
One would think the deep to be gray-haired.

33“Nothing on earth is like him,
One made without fear.

34“He looks on everything that is high;
He is king over all the sons of pride.”
