God continues 'Clubs are counted as stubble: he laughs at the rushing of the javelin.' This verse presents Leviathan as laughing at human weapons. The club is as stubble; the javelin produces laughter rather than fear. The image of Leviathan laughing at weapons suggests that the creature is not merely invulnerable but contemptuous of human attempts to harm it. The creature's laughter suggests mockery of human powerlessness.
