Context of Job 41:10

8Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle; you will not do it again! 9Behold, your expectation is false; Will you be hurled down even at the sight of him? No one is so reckless that he dares to stir him; Who then is he who opposes Me? 11Who has been first to give to Me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the entire heaven is Mine. 12“I will not be silent about his limbs, Or his mighty strength, or his graceful frame.
