Commentary on Job 41:12
- Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Job 41:11-34: God, having in the foregoing verses shown Job how unable he was to deal with the leviathan, here sets forth his own power in that massy mighty creature. Here is, I. God's sovereign dominion and independency laid down, Job 41:11. 1. That he is indebted to none of his creatures.
- John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Job 41:12: I will not conceal his parts,.... The parts of the leviathan; or "his bars", the members of his body, which are like bars of iron: nor his power; which is very great, whether of the crocodile or the whale: nor his comely proportion; the symmetry of his body, and the members of it; which, though large, every part is in just proportion to each other.
- Jamieson-Fausset-Brown (Reformed), Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible on Job 41:12: I will not conceal--a resumption of the description broken off by the digression, which formed an agreeable change. his power--literally, "the way," that is, true proportion or expression of his strength (so Hebrew, Deu 19:4). comely proportion--literally, "the comeliness of his structure" (his apparatus: so "suit of apparel" Jdg 17:10) [MAURER]. UMBREIT translates, "his armor." But that follows after.
