Will you even put me in the wrong?
    Will you condemn me that (A)you may be in the right?
Have you (B)an arm like God,
    and can you thunder with (C)a voice like his?

10 “Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity;
    (D)clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
11 Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
    and look on everyone who is (E)proud and abase him.
12 Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low
    and (F)tread down the wicked (G)where they stand.
13 (H)Hide them all in (I)the dust together;
    bind their faces in the world below.[a]
14 Then will I also acknowledge to you
    that your own (J)right hand can save you.

  2. Job 41:1 A large sea animal, exact identity unknown

18 His sneezings flash forth light,
    and his eyes are like (A)the eyelids of the dawn.
19 Out of his mouth go flaming torches;
    sparks of fire leap forth.
20 Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke,
    as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21 His breath (B)kindles coals,
    and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
22 In his neck abides strength,
    and terror dances before him.
23 The folds of his flesh (C)stick together,
    firmly cast on him and immovable.
24 His heart is hard as a stone,
    hard as the lower millstone.
25 When he raises himself up, the mighty[a] are afraid;
    at the crashing they are beside themselves.

  1. Job 41:25 Or gods

31 He makes the deep boil like a pot;
    he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 Behind him he leaves a shining wake;
    one would think the deep to be white-haired.
33 (A)On earth there is not his like,
    a creature without fear.
34 He sees everything that is high;
    he is king over all the (B)sons of pride.”
