Job 40:13

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.

Bury them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.

14 Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can save you.

15 Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He feeds on grass like an ox.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
