Job 41:18
Bible in Basic English
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
15 His heart is as strong as a stone, hard as the lower crushing-stone.
16 When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear.
17 The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron.
18 Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood.
19 The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems.
20 A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.
21 Under him are sharp edges of broken pots: as if he was pulling a grain-crushing instrument over the wet earth.
