Job 41:29
27 He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.
28 No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him.
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.
31 He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
