God says leviathan regards darts as chaff and laughs at the threat of a brandished spear.

What Does Job 41:29 Mean?

Darts are reckoned as stubble, and the creature laughs at the rattling of a spear. The very gestures meant to threaten only amuse it; nothing in the human arsenal commands its fear.

That a creature should laugh at our weapons rebukes every proud reliance on force. Yet Scripture tells of a greater laughter, the Lord who sits enthroned and holds the raging of the nations in derision. The God who made leviathan fearless is sovereign over all that makes us afraid, and those who shelter in Him may face the brandished spear of trouble with a settled peace.
