V.1-9 Possibly, this is a crocodile. Job would have to say “not me” to every one of these questions. But God is leading up to the next verse.
V.10 If no one is able to meet a mere animal, who is able to stand before God? What a question!
V.11 God controls everything.
V.12-34 God proceeds to describe the mighty power of an animal. The description is frightening. The words have their effect on Job, may they work the same way on us. May they open our eyes to see our smallness, and God’s greatness. God has finished speaking, and now we come to the great moment in Job’s life.
