Will you condemn Me [your God] that you may [appear to] be righteous and justified? 9Have you an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? “Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity [since you question the Almighty], And array yourself with honor and majesty. 11Pour out the overflowings of your wrath, And look at everyone who is proud and make him low. 12Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him, And [if you are so able] tread down the wicked where they stand.
