Contextual Overview

19"Have you given the horse his might? Have you clothed his neck with quivering and a shaking mane? 20"Have you [Job] made him leap like a locust? The majesty of his snorting [nostrils] is terrible. 21"He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the weapons [of armed men]. 22"He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And [in battle] he does not turn back from the sword.23"The quiver rattles against him, [As do] the flashing spear and the lance [of his rider]. 24"With fierceness and rage he races to devour the ground, And he does not stand still at the sound of the [war] trumpet. 25"As often as the trumpet sounds he says, 'Aha!' And he smells the battle from far away, And senses the thunder of the captains and the war cry.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted,.... At those things which cause fear and fright to men; as arms, though ever so terrible, and armies, though never so numerous;

neither turneth he back from the sword; the naked sword, when it is drawn against him, and ready to be thrust into him; the horse being so bold and courageous was with the Egyptians a symbol of courage and boldness v.

v Clement. Alex. Stromat. l. 5. p. 567.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He mocketh at fear - He laughs at that which is fitted to intimidate; that is, he is not afraid.

Neither turneth he back from the sword - He rushes on it without fear. Of the fact here stated, and the accuracy of the description, there can be no doubt.
