Job 41

Job 41:1

Canst thou] The Lord doth further argue by an instance in Leviathan, the Whale; in this whole Chapter. And shewes Jobs weaknesse to encounter and grapple with him by strength, ver. 1,—10. And applies it thus, Who then is able to stand before me? ver. 10, 11.

Job 41:12

I will not] Here followes a magnifical description of the Whale; of the particular parts and members of his body; and of his qualifications, and actions. All to the end aforesaid, ver. 10, 11. Yet Whales seeme now-a-dayes to be by Art more easily caught and conquered, then they were in Jobs dayes.
