12 (H40-7) Riguarda ogni altiero, ed atterralo; E trita gli empi, e spronfondali;

Giobbe 40:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 40:12

Look on everyone [that is] proud, [and] bring him low
As the Lord often does; see ( Isaiah 2:11 Isaiah 2:12 ) ; this is the same as before;

and tread down the wicked in their place;
the same with the proud, for pride makes men wicked; it is a sin, and very odious in the sight of God, and is highly resented by him; he resists the proud: now Job is bid, when he has brought proud men low, and laid their honour in the dust, to keep them there, to trample upon them, and tread them as mire in the street; and that in their own place, or wherever he should find them; the Septuagint render it "immediately"; see ( Isaiah 28:3 ) .

Giobbe 40:12 In-Context

10 (H40-5) Adornati pur di magnificenza e di altezza; E vestiti di maestà e di gloria.
11 (H40-6) Spandi i furori dell’ira tua, E riguarda ogni altiero, ed abbassalo;
12 (H40-7) Riguarda ogni altiero, ed atterralo; E trita gli empi, e spronfondali;
13 (H40-8) Nascondili tutti nella polvere, E tura loro la faccia in grotte;
14 (H40-9) Allora anch’io ti darò questa lode, Che la tua destra ti può salvare.
