Contextual Overview
1"Do you draw leviathan with a hook? And do you let down his tongue with a rope? 2Do you put a reed in his nose? And pierce his jaw with a thorn? 3Does he multiply supplications to you? Does he speak tender things to you? 4Does he make a covenant with you? Do you take him for a perpetual servant? 5Do you play with him as a bird? And do you bind him for your girls? 6(Companions feast on him, || They divide him among the merchants!) 7Do you fill his skin with barbed irons? And his head with fish-spears? 8Place your hand on him, || Remember the battle—do not add!9Behold, the hope of him is found a liar, || Also, is one not cast down at his appearance? 10None so fierce that he awakes him, || And who [is] he [who] stations himself before Me?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Lay thine hand upon him,.... If thou canst or darest. It is dangerous so to do, either to the whale or crocodile;
remember the battle; or "look for war", as Mr. Broughton renders it; expect a fight will ensue, in which thou wilt have no share with this creature:
do no more; if thou canst by any means escape, take care never to do the like again; or thou wilt never do so any more, thou wilt certainly die for it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Lay thine hand upon him - Prof. Lee renders this, very improperly, as it seems to me, âLay thine hand on thy mouth respecting him,â supposing it means that he should be awed into silence by dread of the animal referred to. But the meaning of the passage evidently is, âEndeavor to seize him by laying the hand on him, and you will soon desist from the fearful conflict, and will not renew it.â
Remember the battle - Remember what a fearful conflict will ensue. Perhaps there is an allusion to some fact fresh in the mind of Job, where such an attempt had been made to secure the leviathan, attended with fearful disaster to those who had made the attempt.
Do no more - Or, rather, âThou wilt not do it again.â That is, he would be deterred from ever renewing the attempt, or the conflict would be fatal to him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 41:8. Lay thine hand upon him? — Mr. Heath translates, "Be sure thou strike home. Mind thy blow: rely not upon a second stroke." Mr. Good translates: -
"Make ready thy hand against him.
Dare the contest: be firm."
He is a dangerous animal; when thou attackest him, be sure of thy advantage; if thou miss, thou art ruined. Depend not on other advantages, if thou miss the first. Kill him at once, or he will kill thee.
