41:30 Sharp stones {i} [are] under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
(i) His skin is so hard that he lies with a great ease on the stones as in the mud.
41:30 Stones - His skin is so impenetrable, that the sharpest stones or shells are as easy unto him as the mire.
41:1-34 Concerning Leviathan. - The description of the Leviathan, is yet further to convince Job of his own weakness, and of God's almighty power. Whether this Leviathan be a whale or a crocodile, is disputed. The Lord, having showed Job how unable he was to deal with the Leviathan, sets forth his own power in that mighty creature. If such language describes the terrible force of Leviathan, what words can express the power of God's wrath? Under a humbling sense of our own vileness, let us revere the Divine Majesty; take and fill our allotted place, cease from our own wisdom, and give all glory to our gracious God and Saviour. Remembering from whom every good gift cometh, and for what end it was given, let us walk humbly with the Lord.
