Job 39:22

22 They do not know the meaning of fear, and no sword can turn them back.

Job 39:22 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:22

He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted
At those things which cause fear and fright to men; as arms, though ever so terrible, and armies, though never so numerous;

neither turneth he back from the sword;
the naked sword, when it is drawn against him, and ready to be thrust into him; the horse being so bold and courageous was with the Egyptians a symbol of courage and boldness ^F22.

Job 39:22 In-Context

20 Did you make them leap like locusts and frighten people with their snorting?

21 They eagerly paw the ground in the valley; they rush into battle with all their strength.

22 They do not know the meaning of fear, and no sword can turn them back.

23 The weapons which their riders carry rattle and flash in the sun.

24 Trembling with excitement, the horses race ahead; when the trumpet blows, they can't stand still.
