约伯记 41:33-34 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 41:34

He beholdeth all high things He looks without fear on everything that is high and great. Nothing alarms him; nothing disturbs his equanimity. He is a king over all the children (literally, sons ) of pride (comp. Job 28:8 ). He feels himself superior to all other animals that come within his ken. They may be "sons of pride," but he has more to be proud of than the proudest of them. Ordinarily, the lion poses as "the king of beasts;" but here he is, as it were, deposed, and relegated... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 41:34

A king over all the children of pride. This magniloquent title crowns the elaborate description of leviathan, which occupies the whole chapter. It gives us a vivid idea of the supremacy and kinship that are to be found in nature. I. THERE ARE GRADATIONS OF RANK IN NATURE . Nature is not democratic or communistic. Among her various orders we observe ascending ranks of living creatures. There is a natural aristocracy; there is a natural kingship. All creatures are not endowed... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 41:33

Upon earth there is not his like - Hebrew, “Upon the dust.” The meaning is, that no other animal can be compared with him; or the land does not produce such a monster as this. For size, strength, ferocity, courage, and formidableness, no animal will hear a comparison with him. This can be true only of some such fierce creature as the crocodile.Who is made without fear - Margin, “Or, behave themselves with fear.” The meaning is, that he is created not to be afraid; he has no dread of others In... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 41:34

He beholdeth all high things - That is, he looks down on everything as inferior to him.He is a king over all the children of pride - Referring, by “the children of pride,” to the animals that are bold, proud, courageous - as the lion, the panther, etc. The lion is often spoken of as “the king of the forest,” or “the king of beasts,” and in a similar sense the leviathan is here spoken of as at the head of the animal creation. He is afraid of none of them; he is subdued by none of them; he is the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 41:33

Job 41:33. Upon the earth there is not his like No creature in this world is comparable to him for strength and terror. Or the earth is here distinguished from the sea; for the Hebrew, אין על עפר משׁלו , een gnal gnapar mashelo, may be properly rendered, His dominion is not upon the earth; namely, but upon the waters. Houbigant renders it, His dwelling is not upon the dust; which, as he understands it of the crocodile, he supposes to express the amphibious nature of the animal,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 41:34

Job 41:34. He beholdeth all high things He looks about him with contempt and disdain on every thing he sees. He does not turn his back upon, or hide his face from, the highest and mightiest creatures, but beholds them with a bold and undaunted countenance, as being without any fear of them. He is king over all the children of pride He carries himself with princely majesty and courage toward the strongest, loftiest, and fiercest creatures, which, though far higher in stature than himself,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 41:1-34

Two beasts (40:15-41:34)Before Job accepts the challenge to govern the moral order, God warns him that it is far more difficult than governing the natural and physical order. Therefore, Job must first consider what power he has over, for instance, the beasts. Two examples are sufficient to impress upon Job that he faces an impossibility. The first of these is the monster Behemoth, generally thought to be the hippopotamus. It is among the strongest creatures of God’s creation (15-18),... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 41:33

Job 41:33. Upon earth there is not his like— Houbigant renders this, His dwelling is not upon the dust; He who made him, made him to be without law. This he supposes to express the amphibious nature of the crocodile; which, though living under the waters, yet is observed almost every day at morning and evening to come from thence, and continue awhile on the land. This learned critic also gives a turn to the next verse very different from that in which it is generally understood. Heath renders... read more
