Context of Job 41:11

9Lo, hope as to him is belied: is not one cast down even at the sight of him? 10None is so bold as to stir him up; and who is he that will stand before me? Who hath first given to me, that I should repay [him]? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine. 12I will not be silent as to his parts, the story of his power, and the beauty of his structure. 13Who can uncover the surface of his garment? who can come within his double jaws?

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. prevented--done Me a favor first: anticipated Me with service (Psa 21:3).
