Context of Job 41:10

8If you lay your hand on it, you will remember the fight, and you will never do it again! 9(41:1) See, his expectation is wrong, he is laid low even at the sight of it. Is it not fierce when it is awakened? Who is he, then, who can stand before it? 11(Who has confronted me that I should repay? Everything under heaven belongs to me!) 12I will not keep silent about its limbs, and the extent of its might, and the grace of its arrangement.
