The dragon or Leviathan

Job 41:1    Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

Job 41:2    Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

Job 41:3    Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

Job 41:11    Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

Job 41:11 Gill

Who hath prevented me, that one should repay him?.... First given me something that was not my own, and so laid me under an obligation to him to make a return. The apostle seems to have respect to this passage, Rom 11:35;

whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine; the fowls of the air, the cattle on a thousand hills, the fulness of the earth; gold, silver: precious stones, &c. All things are made by him, are his property and at his dispose; and therefore no man on earth can give him what he has not a prior right unto; see Psa 24:1.

Psalms 24:1   (KJV)

1  A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Heb 4:1    Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Heb 4:2    For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Heb 4:3    For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Heb 4:4    For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

Job 41:33    Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

Job 41:34    He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

Job 41:34

He beholdeth all high things,.... Or "who beholdeth all high things"; even he that made leviathan, that is, God, as the above interpreter: he does that which Job was bid to do, and could not; beholds everyone that is proud, and abases him, Job 40:11; and therefore he ought to acknowledge his sovereignty and superiority over him, and submit to him;

John Gill closes his commentary..on leviathan.

of all creatures, it is the most lively emblem of the devil, which all the ancient Christian writers make leviathan to be; and Satan is expressly called the dragon in Rev 12:3. So Suidas (m)says, the devil is called a dragon in Job. But be the leviathan what it may, it certainly is an illustrious instance of the power of God in making it; and therefore Job and every other man ought to submit to him that made it, in all things, and be humble under his mighty hand; owning freely, that it is his right hand, and his only, and not man's, that can save, either in a temporal or spiritual sense; for which end this and the behemoth are instanced in.
