Job 40:12

12 Il remue sa queue semblable au cèdre; les tendons de ses hanches sont entrelacés.

Job 40:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 40:12

Look on everyone [that is] proud, [and] bring him low
As the Lord often does; see ( Isaiah 2:11 Isaiah 2:12 ) ; this is the same as before;

and tread down the wicked in their place;
the same with the proud, for pride makes men wicked; it is a sin, and very odious in the sight of God, and is highly resented by him; he resists the proud: now Job is bid, when he has brought proud men low, and laid their honour in the dust, to keep them there, to trample upon them, and tread them as mire in the street; and that in their own place, or wherever he should find them; the Septuagint render it "immediately"; see ( Isaiah 28:3 ) .

Job 40:12 In-Context

10 Vois donc le Béhémoth, que j'ai fait aussi bien que toi; il mange l'herbe comme le bœuf;
11 Vois donc: sa force est dans ses flancs, et sa vigueur dans les muscles de son ventre.
12 Il remue sa queue semblable au cèdre; les tendons de ses hanches sont entrelacés.
13 Ses os sont des tubes d'airain, ses membres sont comme des barres de fer.
14 C'est le chef-d'œuvre de Dieu, son créateur lui a donné son épée.
