Job 40:9-14

9 (40-4) ¿Tienes tú brazo como Dios? ¿Y tronarás tú con voz como él?
10 (40-5) Atavíate ahora de majestad y de alteza: Y vístete de honra y de hermosura.
11 (40-6) Esparce furores de tu ira: Y mira á todo soberbio, y abátelo.
12 (40-7) Mira á todo soberbio, y humíllalo, Y quebranta á los impíos en su asiento.
13 (40-8) Encúbrelos á todos en el polvo, Venda sus rostros en la oscuridad;
14 (40-9) Y yo también te confesaré Que podrá salvarte tu diestra.

Job 40:9-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 40

In this chapter Job is called upon to give in his answer, Job 40:1,2, which he does in the most humble manner, acknowledging his vileness and folly, Job 40:3-5; and then the Lord proceeds to give him further conviction of his superior justice and power, Job 40:6-9; and one thing he proposes to him, to humble the proud, if he could, and then he would own his own right hand could save him, Job 40:10-15; and observes to him another instance of his power in a creature called behemoth, which he had made, and gives a description of, Job 40:15-24.
