12 "I will not fail to speak of Leviathan's limbs, its strength and its graceful form.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
12 "I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.
12 "But I've more to say about Leviathan, the sea beast, his enormous bulk, his beautiful shape.
12 "I will not conceal his limbs, His mighty power, or his graceful proportions.
12 "I want to emphasize Leviathan's limbs and its enormous strength and graceful form.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 41:12

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.
