Commentary on Job 41:11

Theological / Devotional

Who hath prevented? The thought of the text seems to be, “Who hath placed Me under obligation to him that I should repay him?” The argument is, If man cannot control such creatures as leviathan, how can he expect to force the hand of the Creator for special favors? The allusion seems to be to Job’s repeated demands for a hearing (chapters 9:34, 35; 13:3, 22; 23:3-7). God resists every challenge that He justify Himself. He is not in debt to any of His creatures.

Is mine. God reminds Job of His ownership of the universe.
