Job 41:9 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? Behold, the hope - If thou miss thy first advantage, there is no hope afterwards: the very sight of this terrible monster would dissipate thy spirit, if thou hadst not a positive advantage against his life, or a place of sure retreat to save thine own.
