Job

Job 40:8–11

⁸Would you really annul My justice?

Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?

⁹Do you have an arm like God’s?

Can you thunder with a voice like His?

¹⁰Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,

and clothe yourself with honor and glory.

¹¹Unleash the fury of your wrath;

look on every proud man and bring him low.
