Will you really (A)nullify My judgment?
Will you (B)condemn Me (C)so that you may be justified?
Or do you have an arm like God,
And can you (D)thunder with a voice like His?

10 (E)Adorn yourself with pride and dignity,
And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.
11 Let out your (F)outbursts of anger,
And look at everyone who is (G)arrogant, and humble him.
12 Look at everyone who is arrogant, and (H)humble him,
And (I)trample down the wicked [a]where they stand.
13 (J)Hide them together in the dust;
Imprison [b]them in the hidden place.
14 Then I will also [c]confess to you,
That your own right hand can save you.
