George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Job 41:13

Neck. Some deny that the crocodile has any, being formed like a lizard. But it is a dispute about words. The animal turns with difficulty, so that Thomas Gage assures us he escaped one by going in different directions. --- Want. It ravages a whole country. Hebrew, "fear." (Calmet) --- Protestants, "sorrow is turned into joy before him;" which seems strange. Septuagint, "destruction runs before him." (Haydock) --- The poets place fear, carnage, &c., in the train of Mars. (Calmet) read more

Place; though people may shoot at him, they will make no impression, chap. xl. 20, 26. (Haydock) --- If God send his thunderbolts at him, the monster must however perish. (Calmet) --- Symmachus, "His flesh being cast for him, as in the foundry, (molten) is immoveable." (Haydock) --- Yet God destroyeth him whom man cannot overcome. (Worthington) read more

Stone. Pineda understands this of the whale's heart. Others suppose that it alludes to its cruel and fearless temper. (Menochius) --- The Arabs call a valiant man, "heart of stone." (Calmet) --- Smiths. Protestants, "as a piece of the nether millstone, " (Haydock) which must be larger and more compact than that which is above. (Calmet) --- Septuagint, "He hath stood immoveable as an anvil." (Haydock) read more

Angels. Elim. That is, the mighty, the most valiant, shall fear this monstrous fish, and in their fear shall seek to be purified, (Challoner) by contribution. (Sanchez) --- R. Levi has given a ridiculous exposition, which is adopted by Sa (Amama) and others, (Haydock; see Ezechiel ii. 7.; Aristotle iv. prob. 32.) as the natural consequences of fear. (Calmet) (Menochius) --- The Fathers refer this to the fall of Lucifer, when the other angels might tremble for their own safety. (Haydock) ---... read more

Job's Weakness when Compared with the Strength of the Crocodile v. 1. Canst thou draw out leviathan, the great and fierce crocodile of Egypt and other Mediterranean countries, with an hook, or purse-net, or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Rather, "Into the line dost thou press down his tongue," namely, when he has taken the bait and the drawing of the line pushes aside his tongue. v. 2. Canst thou put an hook, a ring made of plaited rushes, such as were drawn through the... read more

Second Discourse of Jehovah (together with Job’s answer):To doubt God’s justice, which is most closely allied to His wonderful omnipotence, is a grievous wrong, which must be atoned for by sincere penitence:Job 40:6 to Job 42:61. Sharp rebuke of Job’s presumption, which has been carried to the point of doubting God’s justice:Job 40:6-14Job 40:6. Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said:7 Gird up thy loins now like a man:I will demand of thee, and declare thou... read more

the Parable of the Crocodile Job 41:1-34 The last paragraph described the hippopotamus; the whole of this chapter is devoted to the crocodile. In a series of striking questions the voice of the Almighty suggests his greatness. He is not an animal with whom you can play, or to whom you can speak soft words, or whose skin can be reached withsharpened weapons. His scales, Job 41:12-17 ; his eyes, mouth, and nostrils, Job 41:18-24 ; his fearlessness of human attack, Job 41:25-29 ; his power to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 41:1-34

Leviathan is almost certainly the crocodile, and there is the playfulness of a great tenderness in the suggestions Jehovah makes to Job about these fierce creations. Can Job catch him with a rope or a hook? Will he pray to Job? Will Job make a servant or a plaything of him for himself or his maidens? There is a fine, and yet most tender and humorous, satire in the words of Jehovah! Lay thine hand upon him; Remember the battle, and do so no more. If none dare stir up leviathan, who can stand... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 41:1-34

Job 41. Leviathan.— The author regards the crocodile as impossible of capture. In Job 41:1 b perhaps the meaning is that when caught the crocodile cannot be led about by a rope round his tongue and lower jaw. In Job 41:8 “ Remember the battle” seems to mean, “ Bethink thee of the struggle involved.” We have already noted that Duhm places Job 41:9-2 Kings : after Job 39:24. In Job 41:10 b me” is of course God, but Targ, and some MSS. read “ him” so mg.) . Whatever we do with Job 41:9 f. the... read more
