Job 41:11

Who hath prevented me? -As this verse is here rendered, its meaning, and the reason why it is introduced, are not very apparent. It almost looks, indeed, as if it were an interpolation, or had been introduced from some other place, and torn from its proper connection. Dr. Harris proposes to remove the principal difficulty by translating it, “Who will stand before me, yea, presumptuously? Whatsoever is beneath the whole heaven is mine. I cannot be confounded at his limbs and violence, Nor at his power, or the strength of his frame.” It may be doubted, however, whether the original will admit of this translation.
