41:29A club is counted41 as a piece of straw;
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
41:30Its underparts42 are the sharp points of potsherds,
it leaves its mark in the mud
like a threshing sledge.43
Footnotes
- 41 The verb is plural, but since there is no expressed subject it is translated as a passive here.
- 42 Heb “under him.”
- 43 Here only the word “sharp” is present, but in passages like Isa 41:15 it is joined with “threshing sledge.” Here and in Amos 1:3 and Isa 28:27 the word stands alone, but represents the “sledge.”

It plows up the ground as it drags through the mud.
