- The description of the Leviathan, is yet further to convince
Job of his own weakness, and of God's almighty power. Whether
this Leviathan be a whale or a crocodile, is disputed. The Lord,
having showed Job how unable he was to deal with the Leviathan,
sets forth his own power in that mighty creature. If such
language describes the terrible force of Leviathan, what words
can express the power of God's wrath? Under a humbling sense of
our own vileness, let us revere the Divine Majesty; take and
fill our allotted place, cease from our own wisdom, and give all
glory to our gracious God and Saviour. Remembering from whom
every good gift cometh, and for what end it was given, let us
walk humbly with the Lord.
