Job 41:26

Job 41:26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

Ver. 26. The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold ] So close are his scales, so thick his skin, that there is no wounding of him. There was not of old, it seemeth. But now there is a way found of shooting and piercing him, so that he dieth with a horrible noise and outcry.

Nor the habergeon ] A defensive weapon will be as useless as those other offensive; for the whale will soon swallow up the armed as well as the unarmed.
