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
International Standard Version
8 Indeed would you annul my justice and condemn me,
just so you can claim that you’re righteous?
9 Do you have strength[a] like God?
Can you create thunder with a sound[b] like he can?”
Can You Save Yourself?
10 “When you have adorned yourself with exalted majesty,
clothed yourself with splendor and dignity,[c]
11 dispensed the fury of your anger,
made sure[d] that you have humbled every proud person,
12 stared down and subdued every proud person,
trampled the wicked right where they are,
13 buried[e] them in the dust together,
and sent them bound to that secret place,[f]
14 then I will applaud you myself!
I’ll admit that you can deliver yourself by your own efforts!”
