jo, jobon (, leh, cheek (bone), jaw (bone)): In Job 41:2, the Revised Version (British and American) gives pierce his jaw through with a hook for the King James Version bore his jaw through with a thorn (see HOOK; LEVIATHAN).

Figurative: (1) Of the power of the wicked, with a reference to Divine restraint and discipline: I brake the jaws (Hebrew great teeth) of the unrighteous (Job 29:17; Pro 30:14); compare Psa 58:6, Break out the great teeth (maltaoth, jaw teeth) of the young lions, O Yahweh. Let the wicked be deprived of their ability for evil; let them at least be disabled from mischief. Septuagint reads God shall break, etc. (Compare Edmund Prys’s Metrical Paraphrase of the Psalms, in the place cited.) A bridle … in the jaws of the peoples (Isa 30:28; compare 2Ki 19:28) is descriptive of the ultimate check of the Assyrian power at Jerusalem, as when a bridle or lasso is thrown upon the jaws of a wild animal when you wish to catch and tame him (G.A.
