Job 40:8-14
English Standard Version
8 Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that (A)you may be in the right?
9 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.

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!”
