Job 40:6-13
New American Standard Bible
7'Now tighten the belt on your waist like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me.
8Will you really nullify My judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified?
9Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His?
10'Adorn yourself with pride and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.
11Let out your outbursts of anger, And look at everyone who is arrogant, and humble him.
12Look at everyone who is arrogant, and humble him, And trample down the wicked where they stand.
13Hide them together in the dust; Imprison them in the hidden place.
King James Version

12Look on every proud person and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.
