Job 41:11

Job 41:11

Compare all

9 Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false;
Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?

10 No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.
Who then is able to stand against Me?

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?

Job 41:12 >>

prevented—done Me a favor first: anticipated Me with service (Psalms 21:3). None can call Me to account ("stand before Me," Job 41:10) as unjust, because I have withdrawn favors from him (as in Job's case): for none has laid Me under a prior obligation by conferring on Me something which was not already My own. What can man give to Him who possesses all, including man himself? Man cannot constrain the creature to be his "servant" (Job 41:4), much less the Creator.
