Job 39:9-11 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

(9) Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? (10) Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? (11) Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

Having, from the view of such creatures being provided for, taught Job the unreasonableness of his repining, the LORD next sends him to learn another lesson from the unmanageableness of the larger beasts of the field. And hence as plainly shows the folly of man in being restive to divine government.
