Would you really challenge My justice?
Would you declare Me guilty(A) to justify yourself?(B)
Do you have an arm like God’s?
Can you thunder with a voice like His?

10 Adorn yourself with majesty(C) and splendor,
and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
11 Unleash your raging anger;(D)
look on every proud person and humiliate him.(E)
12 Look on every proud person and humble him;(F)
trample the wicked where they stand.[a]
13 Hide them together in the dust;
imprison them in the grave.[b]
14 Then I will confess to you
that your own right hand(G) can deliver you.(H)

  1. Job 40:12 Lit wicked in their place
  2. Job 40:13 Lit together; bind their faces in the hidden place

“Will you discredit my justice
    and condemn me just to prove you are right?
Are you as strong as God?
    Can you thunder with a voice like his?
10 All right, put on your glory and splendor,
    your honor and majesty.
11 Give vent to your anger.
    Let it overflow against the proud.
12 Humiliate the proud with a glance;
    walk on the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury them in the dust.
    Imprison them in the world of the dead.
14 Then even I would praise you,
    for your own strength would save you.
