Job 41:13
Compare all
11 aWho has preceded Me, that I should pay him?
bEverything under heaven is Mine. 
12 “I will not1 conceal his limbs,
His mighty power, or his graceful proportions. 
13 Who can1 remove his outer coat?
Who can approach him with a double bridle? 
14 Who can open the doors of his face,
With his terrible teeth all around?
15 His rows of1 scales are his pride,
Shut up tightly as with a seal;

Job 41:1-34

Concerning Leviathan.

- The description of the Leviathan, is yet further to convince Job of his own weakness, and of God's almighty power. Whether this Leviathan be a whale or a crocodile, is disputed. The Lord, having showed Job how unable he was to deal with the Leviathan, sets forth his own power in that mighty creature. If such language describes the terrible force of Leviathan, what words can express the power of God's wrath? Under a humbling sense of our own vileness, let us revere the Divine Majesty; take and fill our allotted place, cease from our own wisdom, and give all glory to our gracious God and Saviour. Remembering from whom every good gift cometh, and for what end it was given, let us walk humbly with the Lord.
