Contextual Overview

¹¹ Or who hath geuen me any thyng aforehande, that I may rewarde him againe? All thinges vnder heauen are myne. ¹² I wyll not keepe secrete his great strength, his power, nor his comely proportion. ¹³ Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who shall come to him with a double brydle? ¹⁴ Who shall open the doores of his face? for he hath horrible teeth round about. ¹⁵ His scales are as it were strong shieldes, so fastened together as if they were sealed: ¹⁶ One is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can come in: ¹⁷ Yea, one hangeth so vpon another, & sticketh so together, that they can not be sundred. ¹⁸ His neesinges make a glistering like fyre, and his eyes lyke the morning shine. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go torches, and sparkes of fire leape out. ²⁰ And out of his nostrels there goeth a smoke, lyke as out of an hotte seething pot, or caldron.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The arrow cannot make him flee,.... The skin of the crocodile is so hard, as Peter Martyr says, that it cannot be pierced with arrows, as before observed; therefore it is not afraid of them, nor will flee from them;

slingstones are turned with him into stubble; are no more regarded by him than if stubble was cast at him; not only stones out of a sling, but out of an engine; and such is the hardness of the skin of the crocodile, that, as Isidore says e, the strokes of the strongest stones are rebounded by it, yea, even it is said to withstand against musket shot f.

e Origin. l. 12. c. 6. f Mandelsloe in Harris's Voyages, &c. vol. 1. p. 759.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The arrow - Hebrew “the son of the bow.” So Lamentations 3:13, margin. This use of the word son is common in the Scriptures and in all Oriental poetry.

Sling-stones - The sling was early used in war and in hunting, and by skill and practice it could be so employed as to be a formidable weapon; see Judges 20:16; 1Sa 17:40, 1 Samuel 17:49. As one of the weapons of attack on a foe it is mentioned here, though there is no evidence that the sling was ever actually used in endeavoring to destroy the crocodile. The meaning is, that all the common weapons used by men in attacking an enemy had no effect on him.

Are turned with him into stubble - Produce no more effect on him than it would to throw stubble at him.
