King James Translators' Notes

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

22. remaineth-abideth permanently. His chief strength is in the neck.

sorrow-anxiety or dismay personified.

is turned into joy-rather, "danceth," "exulteth"; wherever he goes, he spreads terror "before him."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

41:1-34 Concerning Leviathan. - The description of the Leviathan, is yet further to convince Job of his own weakness, and of God's almighty power. Whether this Leviathan be a whale or a crocodile, is disputed. The Lord, having showed Job how unable he was to deal with the Leviathan, sets forth his own power in that mighty creature. If such language describes the terrible force of Leviathan, what words can express the power of God's wrath? Under a humbling sense of our own vileness, let us revere the Divine Majesty; take and fill our allotted place, cease from our own wisdom, and give all glory to our gracious God and Saviour. Remembering from whom every good gift cometh, and for what end it was given, let us walk humbly with the Lord.


Job 41:21 "His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes forth from his mouth.
Job 41:23 "The folds of his flesh are joined together, Firm on him and immovable. (NASB ©1995)
