Job39:11
11. Wilt thou trust him because his strength is great ? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him ?
To wit, for the doing of these works?
Because he is very able for thy work. And wilt thou by thy power make him willing or force him to put forth and spend his strength in thy service?
Either 1. thy work of Plowing and Harrowing. Or rather 2. the Fruit of thy labour, or the goods gotten by thy labour, as this word is oft used, as Deut. 28. 33. Iob 20. 18. Psal. 78. 46 & 128. 2. Ioh. 4. 38. to wit, the Fruits of the Earth procured by God's blessing upon thy industry.
To be brought home by him into thy Barns, as the next Verse explains it.
