This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_41:2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Ver. 2. Canst thou put a hook into his nose?] Canst thou ring him like a swine, or rule him like a bear? God can, and did Sennacherib that crooked leviathan, Isa_27:1; Isa_37:29; and doth still the Great Turk, who desireth to devour Christendom.
Or bore his jaw through with a thorn?] Or twig, as men do lesser fishes, taken with an angle, or herrings from the fish market. These are facetious and ironic questions that are put to Job in these five first verses; hinting to him, that although he could not do any of these things, yet God could with ease.
