Verse 5 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.
