Job 41:27 Context
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. 29Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a speare.
