Job 40:11

11 Let loose your great anger. Look at those who are proud and bring them low.

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 Is your arm as powerful as mine is? Can your voice thunder as mine does?
10 Then put on glory and beauty as if they were your clothes. Also put honor and majesty on.
11 Let loose your great anger. Look at those who are proud and bring them low.
12 Look at proud people and bring them down. Crush those who are evil right where they are.
