With excellent majesty, as I am decked and clothed, ( Psalms 93:1 ) ;

Job 40:10 In-Context

8 Whether thou shalt make void my doom, and shalt thou condemn me, that thou be made just? (Shalt thou make void my justice? that is, shalt thou say that I am unjust? and shalt thou condemn me, so that thou can be right?)

9 And if thou hast an arm, or power, as God hath, and if thou thunderest with like voice,

10 take thou fairness about thee, and be thou raised on high, and be thou glorious, and be thou clothed in fair clothes. (take thou beauty about thee, and be thou raised up on high, and be thou glorious, and be thou clothed in beautiful clothes.)

11 And destroy thou proud men in thy fierce vengeance (And destroy thou the proud with thy fierce vengeance), and behold thou, and make low each boaster.

12 Behold thou all proud men, and shame thou them; and all-break thou (the) wicked men in their place.
