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)

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

Would you question my justice,
    deem me guilty so you can be innocent?
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.
