Giobbe 40:11

11 Da’ libero corso ai furori dell’ira tua; mira tutti i superbi e abbassali!

Giobbe 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.

Giobbe 40:11 In-Context

9 Hai tu un braccio pari a quello di Dio? o una voce che tuoni come la sua?
10 Su via, adornati di maestà, di grandezza, rivestiti di splendore, di magnificenza!
11 Da’ libero corso ai furori dell’ira tua; mira tutti i superbi e abbassali!
12 Mira tutti i superbi e umiliali! e schiaccia gli empi dovunque stanno!
13 Seppelliscili tutti assieme nella polvere, copri di bende la lor faccia nel buio della tomba!
