Jó 40:11

11 Derrama as inundações da tua ira, e atenta para todo soberbo, e abate-o.

Jó 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.

Jó 40:11 In-Context

9 Ou tens braço como Deus; ou podes trovejar com uma voz como a dele?
10 Orna-te, pois, de excelência e dignidade, e veste-te de glória e de esplendor.
11 Derrama as inundações da tua ira, e atenta para todo soberbo, e abate-o.
12 Olha para todo soberbo, e humilha-o, e calca aos pés os ímpios onde estão.
13 Esconde-os juntamente no pó; ata-lhes os rostos no lugar escondido.
