Job 41:3

3 non parcam ei et verbis potentibus et ad deprecandum conpositis

Job 41:3 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:3

Will he make many supplications unto thee?
&c.] To cease pursuing him, or to let him go when taken, or to use him well and not take away his life; no, he is too spirited and stouthearted to ask any favour, it is below him;

will he speak soft [words] unto thee?
smooth and flattering ones, for the above purposes? he will not: this is a figurative way of speaking.

Job 41:3 In-Context

1 non quasi crudelis suscitabo eum quis enim resistere potest vultui meo

2 quis ante dedit mihi ut reddam ei omnia quae sub caelo sunt mea sunt

3 non parcam ei et verbis potentibus et ad deprecandum conpositis

4 quis revelavit faciem indumenti eius et in medium oris eius quis intrabit

5 portas vultus eius quis aperiet per gyrum dentium eius formido
