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.
