SCRIPTURE

"Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee?" — Job 41:3 (ASV)

Will he make many supplications to you ? &c.] To cease pursuing him, or to let him go when taken, or to use him well and not take away his life; no, he is too spirited and stouthearted to ask any favour, it is below him;

will he speak soft [words] to you ? smooth and flattering ones, for the above purposes? he will not: this is a figurative way of speaking.
