Job 40:11 Meaning and Commentary

Job 40:11

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath
Work thyself up into a passion, at least seemingly; put on all the airs of a wrathful and enraged king on a throne of state, whose wrath is like the roaring of a lion, and as messengers of death; pour out menaces plentifully, threatening what thou wilt do; and try if by such means thou canst humble the spirit of a proud man, as follows;

and behold everyone [that is] proud, and abase him;
look sternly at him, put on a fierce, furious, and menacing countenance, and see if thou canst dash a proud man out of countenance, and humble him before thee, as I am able; among the many instances of divine power the Lord settles upon this one, and proposes it to Job to try his skill and power upon, the humbling of a proud man.

Job 40:11 In-Context

9 Alors, moi aussi, je te louerai, car ta main t'aura aidé.
10 Vois donc le Béhémoth, que j'ai fait aussi bien que toi; il mange l'herbe comme le bœuf;
11 Vois donc: sa force est dans ses flancs, et sa vigueur dans les muscles de son ventre.
12 Il remue sa queue semblable au cèdre; les tendons de ses hanches sont entrelacés.
13 Ses os sont des tubes d'airain, ses membres sont comme des barres de fer.
