Job 41:24 Context
22In his necke remaineth strength, and sorrowe is turned into ioy before him. 23The flakes of his flesh are ioyned together: they are firme in themselues, they cannot be moued. 24His heart is as firme as a stone, yea as hard as a peece of the nether mil-stone. 25When he rayseth vp himselfe, the mightie are afraid: by reason of breakings they purifie themselues. 26The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the speare, the dart, nor the habergeon.
