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

Behold, the hope of him is in vain,.... Of getting the mastery over him, or of taking him; and yet both crocodiles and whales have been taken; nor is the taking of them to be despaired of; but it seems the "orca", or the whale with many teeth, has never been taken and killed o;

shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him? the sight of a whale is terrible to mariners, lest their ships should be overturned by it; and some have been so frightened at the sight of a crocodile as to lose their senses: and we read of one that was greatly terrified at seeing the shadow of one; and the creature before mentioned is supposed to be much more terrible p.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Behold, the hope of him is in vain - That is, the hope of taking him is vain.

Shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? - So formidable is his appearance, that the courage of him who would attack him is daunted, and his resolution fails. This agrees well also with the crocodile. There is perhaps scarcely any animal whose appearance would be more likely to deter one from attacking him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 41:9. Behold, the hope — If thou miss thy first advantage, there is no hope afterwards: the very sight of this terrible monster would dissipate thy spirit, if thou hadst not a positive advantage against his life, or a place of sure retreat to save thine own.
