Commentary on Job 41:10

Theological / Devotional

Stand before me. This verse contains the point of the entire argument. A creature that God has made is so formidable that man dares not “stir him up.” How, then, dares any man to contend with the Creator? This is doubtless intended as a rebuke to Job for his rashness in desiring to argue with God.

According to the Targums and a number of Hebrew manuscripts the last line of this text reads, “Who then is able to stand before him?” However, the Septuagint and the other ancient versions all support the reading “me.”
