Job 40:10
8 Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
9 Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?
Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
11 Unleash the fury of your wrath; look on every proud man and bring him low.
12 Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
