What Does Job 41:30 Mean?
Beneath the creature lie sharp potsherds, and it drags its jagged underside across the mire, leaving furrows like the marks of a threshing sledge. Even where it rests, leviathan scores the earth with its passing.
The detail completes a portrait of a creature armored above and below, formidable at every point. Such thoroughness of design points back to the wisdom of its Maker, who leaves nothing half-finished. The God who armed leviathan on every side is the same God whose care surrounds His people behind and before, and whose attentive hand is upon them in every place.
