Job 41:25

CreationGod's power and sovereignty

23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.

24 His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!

When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing.

26 The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow.

27 He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.
