Job 40:19-24

19 El es la cabeza de los caminos de Dios; el que lo hizo, acercará de él su cuchillo.

20 Ciertamente los montes llevan renuevo para él; y toda bestia del campo retoza allá.

21 Se echará debajo de las sombras, en lo oculto de las cañas, y de los lugares húmedos.

22 Los árboles sombríos lo cubren con su sombra; los sauces del arroyo lo cercan.

23 He aquí que él tomará el río sin inmutarse; y se confía que el Jordán pasará por su boca.

24 Su hacedor lo tomará por sus ojos en tropezaderos, y horadará su nariz.

Job 40:19-24 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 40

In this chapter Job is called upon to give in his answer, Job 40:1,2, which he does in the most humble manner, acknowledging his vileness and folly, Job 40:3-5; and then the Lord proceeds to give him further conviction of his superior justice and power, Job 40:6-9; and one thing he proposes to him, to humble the proud, if he could, and then he would own his own right hand could save him, Job 40:10-15; and observes to him another instance of his power in a creature called behemoth, which he had made, and gives a description of, Job 40:15-24.
