Job

Job 40:9–14

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.

¹²Look on every proud man and humble him;

trample the wicked where they stand.

¹³Bury them together in the dust;

imprison them in the grave.^c

¹⁴Then I will confess to you

that your own right hand can save you.
