Job 41:31-34
Context41:31 It makes the deep boil like a cauldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment, 1
41:32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
one would think the deep had a head of white hair.
41:33 The likes of it is not on earth,
a creature 2 without fear.
41:34 It looks on every haughty being;
it is king over all that are proud.” 3


[41:31] 1 sn The idea is either that the sea is stirred up like the foam from beating the ingredients together, or it is the musk-smell that is the point of comparison.
[41:33] 2 tn Heb “one who was made.”
[41:34] 3 tn Heb “the sons of pride.” Dhorme repoints the last word to get “all the wild beasts,” but this misses the point of the verse. This animal looks over every proud creature – but he is king of them all in that department.
