Job 41:10

“None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up, etc.] This seems best to agree with the crocodile, who frequently lies down and sleeps on the ground f1527, and in the water by night f1528; (see <262903>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 f1529; 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…”

“fierce--courageous. If a man dare attack one of My creatures (Gen 49:9; Num 24:9), who will dare (as Job has wished) oppose himself (Psa 2:2) to Me, the Creator? This is the main drift of the description of leviathan.”

“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…”

“Stand - To the battle. Me - To contend with me who created him? Job 41:11”

“dare: Gen 49:9; Num 24:9; Psa 2:11, Psa 2:12; Eze 8:17, Eze 8:18 who: Job 9:4, Job 40:9; Jer 12:5; Co1 10:22 Job 41:11”

“10 None is so foolhardy that he dare excite him! And who is it who could stand before Me? 11 Who hath given Me anything first of all, that I must requite it? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine. One sees from these concluding inferences, thus applied, what is the design, in the connection of this second speech of Jehovah, of the reference to behmoth and leviathan, which somewhat abruptly began in Job 40:15. If even the strength of one of God's creatures admits no thought of being able to attack it, how much more should the greatness of the Creator deter man from all resistance! For no one has any claim on God, so that he should have the right of appearing before Him with a rude…”
