Job 41

v3 Do not imagine that a crocodile would ever be gentle. It will fight for its freedom. It is fierce. v4 It will never become tame. It will never obey you. v5 You cannot make it into a pet, like a bird. And you cannot lead it on a string to amuse your servant girls.

God talks about the crocodile , just like in the garden of Eden all animals and birds did not harm man but the serpent was the cruel and attacked man .similarly crocodile is a dangerous reptile his motive is to kill and destroy and cannot be controlled by one . God is trying to tell Job that the enemy is the Satan who wanted to destroy Job

But . v10 Nobody dares to upset a crocodile. (But I, God, made the crocodile.) So, be sure that nobody could oppose me. v11 I owe nothing to anyone. Everything belongs to me.

God has created crocodile and he is more powerful than any animal ,powerful than Satan , Trust God and no harm will come on you

God speaking of the crocodile here in comparison to the devil. In Isaiah 27:1, God speaks about the same word used here, leviathan, but this seems to be speaking of something slightly different than a crocodile here - he's really referring to slaying the devil in the end with His Sword (word) ("In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword-- his fierce, great and powerful sword-- Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea."). So like it says says in Job 41, God created everything and it all belongs to Him. Yes, we should fear God an no harm will come to us. We have a great protector.
