Job 40:7-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 40
7'Now tighten the belt on your waist like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me. 8Will you really nullify My judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified? 9Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? 10'Adorn yourself with pride and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty. 11Let out your outbursts of anger, And look at everyone who is arrogant, and humble him. 12Look at everyone who is arrogant, and humble him, And trample down the wicked where they stand. 13Hide them together in the dust; Imprison them in the hidden place. 14Then I will also confess to you, That your own right hand can save you. 15'Behold, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox. 16Behold, his strength in his waist, And his power in the muscles of his belly.King James Version
Chapter 40
7Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 8Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? 9Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? 10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. 11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. 12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 13Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. 14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 40
7Get ready to answer me like a man; When I question you, you will inform me. 8Would you really challenge my justice? Would you declare me guilty to justify yourself?
9Do you have an arm like God's? Can you thunder with a voice like his?
10Adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
11Pour out your raging anger; look on every proud person and humiliate him.
12Look on every proud person and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.
13Hide them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.
New Living Translation
Chapter 40
7'Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.
8'Will you discredit my justice and condemn me just to prove you are right?
9Are you as strong as God? Can you thunder with a voice like his?
10All right, put on your glory and splendor, your honor and majesty.
11Give vent to your anger. Let it overflow against the proud.
12Humiliate the proud with a glance; walk on the wicked where they stand.
13Bury them in the dust. Imprison them in the world of the dead.
14Then even I would praise you, for your own strength would save you.
English Standard Version
Chapter 40
7“Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me. 8Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right? 9Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his? 10“Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor. 11Pour out the overflowings of your anger, and look on everyone who is proud and abase him. 12Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread down the wicked where they stand. 13Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below. 14Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you. 15“Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. 16Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.New International Version
