"Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear./He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride."
God refers to him as one who is made without fear. The Leviathan is a creature even as morning stars are. "By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent."( Job 26:13) God mentions another creature who is qualified as Behemoth "He is the chief of the ways of God."(40:15-19).God mentions these two instances to show what his right hand signifies. His right hand is decked with majesty and excellency; and in his wrath he arrays himself with glory and beauty and it performs wonders, "And behold every one that is proud, and abase him./Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place./Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.:(40:10-13)
God mentions another creation that is so wanting in wisdom but even so she is compared to 'the fools for Christ's sake." This bird is foolish and in 39:13-16 we read thus: the ostrich "Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,/ And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them./She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's." Her Christian virtue is in her faith. Jesus asked, Who is my mother or my brethren? "Her labour is in vain without fear," and benevolence of God takes care of her. This trust is what the children of pride lacks.
We shall compare the stars, the angels of seven churches which are in the right hand of Jesus Christ. (Re.1:20). In Ez.28 and Is.14 we have the Leviathan as Lucifer. He beholdeth all things so what does he say? " I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High./Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." (Is.14:14-15) Profusion of precious stone describe his scales 'which are pride'.(Ez.28:13; Job 41:15)
