Job 40:14

The very fact that Job could not perform such an administrative function as judging the wicked, proves that Job cannot save himself. "Only if Job could carry out such an awesome task, would God admit to the complainer's independence and self-sufficiency and the validity of his criticisms" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 771).

In the previous chapter God had mentioned various animals, but in this and the next chapter He will focus in on two, "generally considered the strangest on land and the wildest in the sea" (Zuck p. 177).
