Job 40:10 Meaning and Commentary

Job 40:10

Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency
With excellent majesty, as I am decked and clothed, ( Psalms 93:1 ) ;

and array thyself with glory and beauty;
appear in the most glorious and splendid manner thou canst, make the best figure thou art able, put on royal robes, and take thy seat and throne, and sit as a king or judge in state and pomp, and exert thyself to do the following things; or take my seat and throne as the judge of the whole earth, and try if thou canst govern the world better than I do; for these and the expressions following are said in an ironic manner.
