Context
The Lord’s Second Speech
40:6 Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind: 40:7 “Get ready for a difficult task like a man. I will question you and you will inform me! 40:8 Would you indeed annul my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right? 40:9 Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s, and can you thunder with a voice like his? 40:10 Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency, and clothe yourself with glory and honor! 40:11 Scatter abroad the abundance of your anger. Look at every proud man and bring him low; 40:12 Look at every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked on the spot! 40:13 Hide them in the dust together, imprison them in the grave. 40:14 Then I myself will acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.
