Job 41:26 Context
24His heart is as firme as a stone, yea as hard as a peece of the nether mil-stone. 25When he rayseth vp himselfe, the mightie are afraid: by reason of breakings they purifie themselues. 26The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the speare, the dart, nor the habergeon. 27He esteemeth iron as straw, and brasse as rotten wood. 28The arrow cannot make him flee: sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
