Contextual Overview

1 Canst thou drawe out Leuiathan with an hooke, or binde his tongue with a corde? 2 Canst thou put a hooke in the nose of him, or bore his iawe through with a naule? 3 Wyl he make many faire wordes with thee [thinkest thou] or flatter thee? 4 Wyll he make a couenaunt with thee? or wilt thou take him for a seruaunt for euer? 5 Wylt thou take thy pastime with him as with a birde, wilt thou binde him for thy maydens? 6 That thy companions may make a refection of him: or shall he be parted among the marchauntes? 7 Canst thou fil the basket with his skin? or the fishe panier with his head? 8 Laye thyne hande vpon him, remember the battaile, and do no more so. 9 Beholde his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perishe euen at the sight of him? 10 No man is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: Who is able to stande before me?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up,.... This seems best to agree with the crocodile, who frequently lies down and sleeps on the ground q, and in the water by night r; see Ezekiel 29:3; when it is very dangerous to arouse him; and few, if any so daring, have courage enough to do it: though whales have been seen lying near shore asleep, and looked like rocks, even forty of them together s;

who then is able to stand before me? This is the inference the Lord draws from hence, or the use he makes of it; that if this creature is so formidable and terrible, that it is dangerous to arouse and provoke him, and there is no standing before him or against him; then how should anyone be able to stand before the Lord, who made this creature, whenever he is angry? see Psalms 76:7.

q Plin. l. 8. c. 25. Solin. c. 45. r Ammian. Marcellin. l. 22. s See the North-West Fox, p. 205.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

None is so fierce that dare stir him up - No one has courage to rouse and provoke him.

Who then is able to stand before me? - The meaning of this is plain. It is, “If one of my creatures is so formidable that man dare not attack it, how can he contend with the great Creator? This may perhaps be designed as a reproof of Job. He had expressed a desire to carry his cause before God, and to urge argument before him in vindication of himself. God here shows him how hopeless must be a contest with the Almighty. Man trembles and is disarmed of his courage by even the sight of one of the creatures of God. Overpowered with fear, he retires from the contemplated contest, and flees away. How then could he presume to contend with God? What hope could he have in a contest with him?

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 41:10. None is so fierce that dare stir him up — The most courageous of men dare not provoke the crocodile to fight, or even attempt to rouse him, when, sated with fish, he takes his repose among the reeds. The strongest of men cannot match him.

Who then is able — If thou canst not stand against the crocodile, one of the creatures of my hand, how canst thou resist me, who am his Maker? This is the use which God makes of the formidable description which he has thus far given of this terrible animal.
