“He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.”
King James Version (KJV)
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.
41:26 Hold - Heb. cannot stand, cannot endure the stroke, but will be broken by it. The crocodile's skin, no sword, nor dart, nor musquet bullet can pierce.
41:28 Turned - Hurt him no more than a blow with a little stubble.
He esteemeth iron as straw, and brasse as rotten wood.
