Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Job 39:11 - Wilt thou trust him // Thy labour // To him

Wilt thou trust him to wit, for the doing of these works, because he is very able for thy work? And wilt thou by thy power make him willing, or force him, to put forth and spend his strength in thy service?

Thy labour either,

1. Thy work of ploughing and harrowing. Or rather,

2. The fruit of thy labour, or the goods gotten by thy labour, as this word is oft used, as Deu 28:33 Job 20:18 Psa 78:46 128:2 Joh 4:38 , to wit, the fruits of the earth procured by God’ s blessing upon thy industry.

To him to be brought home by him into thy barns, as the next verse explains it.

Gill: Job 39:11 - Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great // or wilt thou leave thy labour to him

Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great?.... No; tame oxen are employed because they are strong to labour, Psa 144:14; and they are to be trusted, in ploughing or treading out the corn, under direction, because they are manageable, and will attend to business with constancy; but the wild ox, though stronger, and so fitter for labour, is yet not to be trusted, because unruly and unmanageable: if that sort of wild oxen called "uri" could be thought to be meant, for which Bootius ^h contends, Caesar's account of them would agree with this character of the "reem", as to his great strength: he says of them ⁱ, they are in size a little smaller than elephants, of the kind, colour, and shape of a bull; they are of great strength and of great swiftness, and not to be tamed;

or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? to plough thy fields, to harrow thy lands, and to bring home the ripe corn? as in Job 39:12; thou wilt not.
