Job 40:8-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that you may be justified?(A)
9 Have you an arm like God,
and can you thunder with a voice like his?(B)
10 “Deck yourself with majesty and dignity;
clothe yourself with glory and splendor.(C)
11 Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
and look on all who are proud and humble them.(D)
12 Look on all who are proud and bring them low;
tread down the wicked where they stand.(E)
13 Hide them all in the dust together;
bind their faces in the world below.[a]
14 Then I will also acknowledge to you
that your own right hand can give you victory.(F)

Job 40:8-14
Common English Bible
8 Would you question my justice,
deem me guilty so you can be innocent?
9 Or do you have an arm like God;
can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Adorn yourself with splendor and majesty;
clothe yourself with honor and esteem.
11 Unleash your raging anger;
look on all the proud and humble them.
12 Look on all the proud and debase them;
trample the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them together in the dust;
bind their faces in a hidden place.
14 Then I, even I, will praise you,
for your strong hand has delivered you.
