Job 41:28

CreationGod's power and sovereignty

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.

No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him.

29 A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound of the lance.

30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge.
