According to the author of the book of Job, this verse means that God is asking if a person can play with a big, strong creature like it's a little pet bird. It shows how powerful and mighty the creature is, and by comparison, how much more powerful God must be.

Job 41:5: Wilt thou play with him as [with] a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

Contradiction with Proverbs 12:10

This verse describes a righteous man caring for the needs of his animals, which contrasts with Job 41:5 as it references playful treatment rather than meaningful care.

Proverbs 12:10: A righteous [man] regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel. [tender...: or, bowels]

Contradiction with Psalm 50:10-11

These verses illustrate God's dominion over all creatures, suggesting a level of respect for animals that Job 41:5's playful handling does not emphasize.

Psalm 50:10-11: For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills.

Contradiction with Genesis 1:28

Here, humanity's dominion over animals is stated; Job 41:5's treatment of Leviathan as a plaything contradicts the concept of responsible stewardship.

Genesis 1:28: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. [moveth: Heb. creepeth]
