Verse 11 is found in chapter 41 of Job. The description of Leviathan continues the argument begun with Behemoth. God asks whether Job can capture, domesticate, or turn it into an object of trade. The creature represents a force that humans cannot control. The argument leads toward the conclusion that one who cannot control a single powerful creature cannot claim authority over the universal order.

Aus seinem Munde fahren Fackeln, und feurige Funken schießen heraus.
¿Quién me ha anticipado, para que yo restituya? Todo lo que hay debajo del cielo es mío.
¿Quién me ha dado primero para que yo deba pagarle? Todo lo que hay bajo los cielos es mío.
De qui suis-je le débiteur? Je le paierai. Sous le ciel tout m'appartient.
Chi mi ha prevenuto in darmi cosa alcuna? ed io gliela renderò; Quello che è sotto tutti i cieli è mio.
Quem primeiro me deu, para que eu haja de retribuir-lhe? Pois o que está debaixo de todos os céus é meu.
誰能與我對質,使我償還呢? 天下萬物都是我的。
