Job 41:34
Context41:34 It looks on every haughty being;
it is king over all that are proud.” 8
1 tn Heb “the sons of pride.” In Job 41:26 the expression refers to carnivorous wild beasts.
2 sn The same ideas are found in Joel 2:4. The leaping motion is compared to the galloping of the horse.
3 tn The word could mean “snorting” as well (see Jer 8:16). It comes from the root “to blow.” If the horse is running and breathing hard, this could be the sense here.
4 tn The verb was used for scattering lightning (Job 37:11). God is challenging Job to unleash his power and judge wickedness in the world.
5 tn Heb “the overflowings.”
6 tn The word was just used in the positive sense of excellence or majesty; now the exalted nature of the person refers to self-exaltation, or pride.
7 tn The expression translated “on the spot” is the prepositional phrase תַּחְתָּם (takhtam, “under them”). “Under them” means in their place. But it can also mean “where someone stands, on the spot” (see Exod 16:29; Jos 6:5; Judg 7:21, etc.).
8 tn Heb “the sons of pride.” Dhorme repoints the last word to get “all the wild beasts,” but this misses the point of the verse. This animal looks over every proud creature – but he is king of them all in that department.
