Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405)
span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="job.41.1" class="versetxt"> [Non quasi crudelis suscitabo eum:
quis enim resistere potest vultui meo?
Quis ante dedit mihi, ut reddam ei?
omnia qu� sub c�lo sunt, mea sunt.
Non parcam ei, et verbis potentibus,
et ad deprecandum compositis.
Quis revelabit faciem indumenti ejus?
et in medium oris ejus quis intrabit?
Portas vultus ejus quis aperiet?
per gyrum dentium ejus formido.
Corpus illius quasi scuta fusilia,
compactum squamis se prementibus.
Una uni conjungitur,
et ne spiraculum quidem incedit per eas.
Una alteri adh�rebit,
et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur.
Sternutatio ejus splendor ignis,
et oculi ejus ut palpebr� diluculi.
De ore ejus lampades procedunt,
sicut t�d� ignis accens�.
De naribus ejus procedit fumus,
sicut oll� succens� atque ferventis.
Halitus ejus prunas ardere facit,
et flamma de ore ejus egreditur.
In collo ejus morabitur fortitudo,
et faciem ejus pr�cedit egestas.
Membra carnium ejus coh�rentia sibi:
mittet contra eum fulmina, et ad locum alium non ferentur.
Cor ejus indurabitur tamquam lapis,
et stringetur quasi malleatoris incus.
Cum sublatus fuerit, timebunt angeli,
et territi purgabuntur.
Cum apprehenderit eum gladius, subsistere non poterit,
neque hasta, neque thorax:
reputabit enim quasi paleas ferrum,
et quasi lignum putridum �s.
Non fugabit eum vir sagittarius:
in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fund�.
Quasi stipulam �stimabit malleum,
et deridebit vibrantem hastam.
Sub ipso erunt radii solis,
et sternet sibi aurum quasi lutum.
Fervescere faciet quasi ollam profundum mare,
et ponet quasi cum unguenta bulliunt.
Post eum lucebit semita:
�stimabit abyssum quasi senescentem.
Non est super terram potestas qu� comparetur ei,
qui factus est ut nullum timeret.
Omne sublime videt:
ipse est rex super universos filios superbi�.]

Nova Vulgata (1979)
[41:20] Non fugat eum vir sagittarius, in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fundae.

slingstones: Job 39:7, Habakkuk 1:10

Reciprocal: Exodus 26:28 - reach Lamentations 3:13 - arrows

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The arrow cannot make him flee,.... The skin of the crocodile is so hard, as Peter Martyr says, that it cannot be pierced with arrows, as before observed; therefore it is not afraid of them, nor will flee from them;

slingstones are turned with him into stubble; are no more regarded by him than if stubble was cast at him; not only stones out of a sling, but out of an engine; and such is the hardness of the skin of the crocodile, that, as Isidore says e, the strokes of the strongest stones are rebounded by it, yea, even it is said to withstand against musket shot f.

e Origin. l. 12. c. 6. f Mandelsloe in Harris's Voyages, &c. vol. 1. p. 759.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The arrow - Hebrew “the son of the bow.” So Lamentations 3:13, margin. This use of the word son is common in the Scriptures and in all Oriental poetry.

Sling-stones - The sling was early used in war and in hunting, and by skill and practice it could be so employed as to be a formidable weapon; see Judges 20:16; 1Sa 17:40, 1 Samuel 17:49. As one of the weapons of attack on a foe it is mentioned here, though there is no evidence that the sling was ever actually used in endeavoring to destroy the crocodile. The meaning is, that all the common weapons used by men in attacking an enemy had no effect on him.

Are turned with him into stubble - Produce no more effect on him than it would to throw stubble at him.
