Job 41:12

12 "But I've more to say about Leviathan, the sea beast, his enormous bulk, his beautiful shape.

Job 41:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:12

I will not conceal his parts
The parts of the leviathan; or "his bars", the members of his body, which are like bars of iron:

nor his power;
which is very great, whether of the crocodile or the whale:

nor his comely proportion;
the symmetry of his body, and the members of it; which, though large, every part is in just proportion to each other.

Job 41:12 In-Context

10 If you can't hold your own against his glowering visage, how, then, do you expect to stand up to me?
11 Who could confront me and get by with it? I'm in charge of all this - I run this universe!
12 "But I've more to say about Leviathan, the sea beast, his enormous bulk, his beautiful shape.
13 Who would even dream of piercing that tough skin or putting those jaws into bit and bridle?
14 And who would dare knock at the door of his mouth filled with row upon row of fierce teeth?
