Job 41:26-29
New English Translation
Job 41:26-29
New English Translation
26 Whoever strikes it with a sword[a]
will have no effect,[b]
nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.
27 It regards iron as straw
and bronze as rotten wood.
28 Arrows[c] do not make it flee;
slingstones become like chaff to it.
29 A club is counted[d] as a piece of straw;
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
