41:25When it rises up, the mighty are terrified,
at its thrashing about they withdraw.37
Footnotes
- 37 This verse has created all kinds of problems for the commentators. The first part is workable: “when he raises himself up, the mighty [the gods] are terrified.” The mythological approach would render אֵלִים (’elim) as “gods.” But the last two words, which could be rendered “at the breaking [crashing, or breakers] they fail,” receive much attention. E. Dhorme (Job, 639) suggests “majesty” for “raising up” and “billows” (גַּלִּים, gallim) for אֵלִים (’elim), and gets a better parallelism: “the billows are afraid of his majesty, and the waves draw back.” But H. H. Rowley (Job [], 263) does not think this is relevant to the context, which is talking about the creature’s defense against attack. The works well for the first part, but the second part need some change; so Rowley adopts “in their dire consternation they are beside themselves.”
