In the context of <a href="/job/41.htm">Job 41</a>, God is describing the Leviathan, a creature symbolizing chaos and power. The imagery of looking down implies dominance and control over those who are arrogant or self-important. Biblically, haughtiness is often condemned (<a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>), and this phrase reinforces the idea that no human pride can stand before God's creation and power. The Leviathan, as a creature of immense strength, serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over all creation, including those who consider themselves mighty.<p><b>he is king over all the proud.</b><br>The term "king" denotes rulership and ultimate authority. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, kings were seen as the highest authority, often believed to be appointed by the divine. By stating that Leviathan is king over the proud, the text emphasizes the futility of human pride in the face of God's creation. This can be seen as a metaphor for God's ultimate authority over all human arrogance. Theologically, this reflects the biblical theme that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (<a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a>). The Leviathan, as a symbol of chaos, is under God's control, illustrating that even the most chaotic and powerful forces are subject to God's will. This can also be seen as a type of Christ, who, in His humility, conquered sin and death, demonstrating true power through submission to God's will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A righteous man tested by God through severe trials, including the loss of his wealth, health, and family.
