“His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.”
God continues 'His heart is hard as stone, yea, hard as a nether millstone.' This verse ascribes hardness to Leviathan's heart. The creature's heart is compared to stone and to a millstone. The hardness of the heart suggests that the creature is beyond feeling, unmoved by compassion or emotion. The metaphor of the millstone suggests grinding, destruction, and relentless mechanical action. The verse suggests that Leviathan's heart is not merely physically strong but morally hard, incapable of kindness or mercy.
