God's Power Shown in Creatures

1 "Can you draw out 1Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
2 "Can you 2put a rope in his nose Or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3 "Will he make many supplications to you, Or will he speak to you soft words?
4 "Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him for a servant forever?
5 "Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you bind him for your maidens?
6 "Will the traders bargain over him? Will they divide him among the merchants?
7 "Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?
8 "Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle; you will not do it again!
9 "Behold, your expectation is false; Will you be laid low even at the sight of him?

Job 41:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 41

A large description is here given of the leviathan, from the difficulty and danger of taking it, from whence it is inferred that none can stand before God, Job 41:1-10; from the several parts of him, his face, teeth, scales, eyes, mouth and neck, flesh and heart, Job 41:11-24; and from various wonderful terrible things said of him, and ascribed to him, Job 41:25-34.
