John Trapp on Job 41:2

Verſe 2. Canſt thou put a hook into his noſe?] Canſt thou ring him like a Swine, or rule him like a Bear? God can, and did Sennacherib that crooked Leviathan, Iſai. 27, 1. & 37.29. And doth ſtill the Great Turk, who deſireth to devour Chriſtendom.

Or bore his jaw through with a thorn] Or twig, as men do leſſer fiſhes, taken with an Angle, or Herrings from the fiſh-market. Theſe are facetious and ironical queſtions that are put to Job in theſe five firſt verſes: hinting to him, that although he could not do any of theſe things, yet God could with eaſe.
