Wesley's Notes for Job 41:23

41:21 Kindleth coals - An hyperbolical expression, denoting extraordinary heat.

41:22 And sorrow - Sorrow is his companion and harbinger, which attends upon him wheresoever he goes. So anger and fear are said by the poets to accompany the God of war.

41:24 Nether mill - stone - Which being to bear the weight of the upper, ought to be the harder and stronger of the two.

41:25 Raiseth - Upon the top of the waters. Mighty - Even the stout - hearted. Breakings - By reason of their great danger and distress; which is expressed by this very word, #Psal 60:2 Jonah 2:4|. Purify - Those who ordinarily live in the neglect of God, they cry unto God in their trouble, and endeavour to purge their consciences from the guilt of their sins.
