Job 41:25 Context
23The flakes of his flesh are ioyned together: they are firme in themselues, they cannot be moued. 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.

Wesley's Notes for Job 41:25
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.
