Job 41:27
He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
He esteemeth iron as straw,.... You may as well cast a straw at him as a bar of iron; it will make no impression on his steeled back, which is as a coat of mail to him; so Eustathius affirms {d} that the sharpest iron is rebounded and blunted by him;
and brass as rotten wood; or steel, any instrument made of it, though ever so strong or piercing.
{d} Apud ibid. (Bochard. Hierozoic. par. 2. l. 5. c. 17. col. 785.)
