Job 40:5-14

5 I have already said more than I should.
6 Then out of the storm the Lord spoke to Job once again.
7 Now stand up straight and answer my questions.
8 Are you trying to prove that I am unjust - to put me in the wrong and yourself in the right?
9 Are you as strong as I am? Can your voice thunder as loud as mine?
10 If so, stand up in your honor and pride; clothe yourself with majesty and glory.
11 Look at those who are proud; pour out your anger and humble them.
12 Yes, look at them and bring them down; crush the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury them all in the ground; bind them in the world of the dead.
14 Then I will be the first to praise you and admit that you won the victory yourself.
