Verse 27 is found in chapter 41 of Job. Leviathan is described through images of strength, armor, teeth, fire, and terror. The section ends by emphasizing that no creature on earth is like it and that all human pride vanishes before it. The theological purpose is to show the immensity of created power and, by contrast, the incomparable sovereignty of its Creator.
