What does Job 41:11 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Job 41:11
Who hath prevented me, that one should repay
[him]?
&c.] First given me something that was not my own, and so
laid me under an obligation to him to make a return. The apostle
seems to have respect to this passage, ( Romans 11:35
) ;
[whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine;
the fowls of the air, the cattle on a thousand hills, the fulness
of the earth; gold, silver: precious stones All things are made
by him, are his property and at his dispose; and therefore no man
on earth can give him what he has not a prior right unto; see (
Psalms 24:1 )
( 50:10-12
) .
