Job 41:3 - John Wesley's Notes

Job 41:3

Compare all

1 “Can you draw out ^aLeviathan with a hook,
Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?

2 Can you ^aput a reed through his nose,
Or pierce his jaw with a¹ hook?

3 Will he make many supplications to you?
Will he speak softly to you?

4 Will he make a covenant with you?
Will you take him as a servant forever?

5 Will you play with him as with a bird,
Or will you leash him for your maidens?

Supplications - Doth he dread thine anger or power? Or will he earnestly beg thy favour? It is a metaphor from men in distress, who use these means to them to whose power they are subject.
