10 No one is fierce enough to rouse it. Who then is able to stand against me?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
10 No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?
10 If you can't hold your own against his glowering visage, how, then, do you expect to stand up to me?
10 No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me?
10 And since no one dares to disturb it, who then can stand up to me?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 41:10

Concerning Leviathan.
The description of the Leviathan, is yet further to convince Job of his own weakness, and of God's almighty power. Whether this Leviathan be a whale or a crocodile, is disputed. The Lord, having showed Job how unable he was to deal with the Leviathan, sets forth his own power in that mighty creature. If such language describes the terrible force of Leviathan, what words can express the power of God's wrath? Under a humbling sense of our own vileness, let us revere the Divine Majesty; take and fill our allotted place, cease from our own wisdom, and give all glory to our gracious God and Saviour. Remembering from whom every good gift cometh, and for what end it was given, let us walk humbly with the Lord.
