This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_41:3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft [words] unto thee?
Ver. 3. Will he make many supplications unto thee?] As conquered captives use to do; witness Benhadad, 1Ki_20:32, and Teridates, king of Parthians, who being brought prisoner to Nero, thus bespake him: I come unto thee as unto my god, and will henceforth worship thee as I do the sun in heaven; I will be whatsoever thou shalt appoint me; for thou art my fate and fortune, Sõ ãáñ ìïé, êáé ìïéñá åé êáé ôõ÷ç (Dio in Neron.).
Will he speak soft words unto thee?] Verba byssina; as unto his lord and master. An elegant and pleasant prosopopoeia (personification). No, his stomach is too great to stoop so low.
