Job 41:22

Job 41:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

In his neck remaineth strength. It has been well remarked that the whale has no neck, or at any rate none that is visible, while the crocodile has one that is of great strength, and that naturally attracts observation.

"Le cou assez marque," says the 'Dictionnaire des Sciences' (l.s.c.). It is nearly of the same diameter with the head at the point of junction, and where it adjoins the body is still larger. And sorrow is turned into joy before him; rather, and terror danceth before him (see the Revised Version).

Whithersoever he proceeds, he causes terror; people tremble, take to flight, and disappear.
