Wesley's Notes

41:24 Nether mill - stone - Which being to bear the weight of the upper, ought to be the harder and stronger of the two.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

24. heart-"In large beasts which are less acute in feeling, there is great firmness of the heart, and slower motion" [Bochart]. The nether millstone, on which the upper turns, is especially hard.

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 41:23 "The folds of his flesh are joined together, Firm on him and immovable.
Job 41:25 "When he raises himself up, the mighty fear; Because of the crashing they are bewildered. (NASB ©1995)
