Psalmi 41:29

Jerome's Latin Vulgate

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 quæ sub cælo 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 adhærebit,
et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur.
Sternutatio ejus splendor ignis,
et oculi ejus ut palpebræ diluculi.
De ore ejus lampades procedunt,
sicut tædæ ignis accensæ.
De naribus ejus procedit fumus,
sicut ollæ succensæ atque ferventis.
Halitus ejus prunas ardere facit,
et flamma de ore ejus egreditur.
In collo ejus morabitur fortitudo,
et faciem ejus præcedit egestas.
Membra carnium ejus cohærentia 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 æs.
Non fugabit eum vir sagittarius:
in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fundæ.
Quasi stipulam æstimabit 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:
æstimabit abyssum quasi senescentem.
Non est super terram potestas quæ comparetur ei,
qui factus est ut nullum timeret.
Omne sublime videt:
ipse est rex super universos filios superbiæ.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Darts are counted as stubble,.... Darts being mentioned before, perhaps something else is meant here, and, according to Ben Gersom, the word signifies an engine out of which stones are cast to batter down walls; but these are of no avail against the leviathan;

he laugheth at the shaking of a spear; at him, knowing it cannot hurt him; the crocodile, as Thevenot says g, is proof against the halberd. The Septuagint version is, "the shaking of the pyrophorus", or torch bearer; one that carried a torch before the army, who, when shook, it was a token to begin the battle; which the leviathan being fearless of laughs at it; :-.

g Travels, part 1. b. 2. c. 72. p. 245.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Darts are counted as stubble - The word rendered “darts” (תותח tôthâch) occurs nowhere else in the Scriptures. It is from יתח, obsolete root, “to beat with a club.” The word here probably means clubs. Darts and spears are mentioned before, and the object seems to be to enumerate all the usual, instruments of attack. The singular is used here with a plural verb in a collective sense.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 41:29. Darts are counted as stubble — All these verses state that he cannot be wounded by any kind of weapon, and that he cannot be resisted by any human strength.

A young crocodile, seen by M. Maillet, twelve feet long, and which had not eaten a morsel for thirty-five days, its mouth having been tied all that time, was nevertheless so strong, that with a blow of its tail it overturned a bale of coffee, and five or six men, with the utmost imaginable ease! What power then must lodge in one twenty feet long, well fed, and in health!
