📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of God's lengthy description of Leviathan, a mighty sea creature, spoken directly to Job near the end of the book. God is using this fearsome creature as an example of His supreme power over creation, demonstrating that if Job cannot handle or control such a beast, how much less can he question God's ways. The imagery of garments and bridles reflects ancient methods of controlling animals.
