Can you make him afraid like a grasshopper? the majesty of his snorting is terrible.
All Commentaries on Job 39:20 Go To Job 39
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Up. Hebrew, "frighten "(Haydock) or "make him leap. "(Bo chart) (Calmet)
Nostrils. Septuagint, "of his chest, or shoulders, is boldness. "(Haydock)
This inspires the rider with courage, and the enemy with fear. But the Vulgate is more followed. (Calmet)
--Frænoque teneri Impatiens crebros expirat naribus ignes. (Silius vi.)
