Contextual Overview
19 "Job, are you the one who gives the horse its strength or puts a flowing mane on its neck? 20 Do you make the horse jump like a locust? It scares people with its proud snorting. 21 It paws wildly, enjoying its strength, and charges into battle. 22 It laughs at fear and is afraid of nothing; it does not run away from the sword. 23 The bag of arrows rattles against the horse's side, along with the flashing spears and swords. 24 With great excitement, the horse races over the ground; and it cannot stand still when it hears the trumpet. 25 When the trumpet blows, the horse snorts, ‘Aha!' It smells the battle from far away; it hears the shouts of commanders and the battle cry.

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.
