Description

Job is seen refuting the idea of en:retributive justice endorsed by his friends. Job's misfortunates were indeed undeserved and he will later confront God in a second whirlwind (40:6 - 41:34). God tells Job it is not humans which are his most prized creation but en:Behemoth and en:Leviathan, or the monsters of chaos. Most scholars believe the particulars that follow correlate to the Crocodile and Whale.

He [crocodile] is the chief of God's works made to be tyrant over his fellow creatures (40:19)... He [whale] has no equal on earth, a creature utterly fearless. He looks down on all, even the highest: over all proud beasts he is king (41:33-34).
