Wesley's Notes

41:28 Turned - Hurt him no more than a blow with a little stubble.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

28. arrow-literally, "son of the bow"; Oriental imagery (La 3:13; Margin).

stubble-Arrows produce no more effect than it would to throw stubble at him.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

41:1-34 Concerning Leviathan. - The description of the Leviathan, is yet further to convince Job of his own weakness, and of God's almighty power. Whether this Leviathan be a whale or a crocodile, is disputed. The Lord, having showed Job how unable he was to deal with the Leviathan, sets forth his own power in that mighty creature. If such language describes the terrible force of Leviathan, what words can express the power of God's wrath? Under a humbling sense of our own vileness, let us revere the Divine Majesty; take and fill our allotted place, cease from our own wisdom, and give all glory to our gracious God and Saviour. Remembering from whom every good gift cometh, and for what end it was given, let us walk humbly with the Lord.


Job 41:27 "He regards iron as straw, Bronze as rotten wood.
Job 41:29 "Clubs are regarded as stubble; He laughs at the rattling of the javelin. (NASB ©1995)
