Commentary on Job 40:16 (Summary)

Job 40:16 (ESV)

16 Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.

God points Job’s attention to the power of the Behemoth. This should serve to humble Job, since God is as much the Creator of this creature as he is Job’s own Creator (Job 40:15).
