Context of Job 40:10
8Do you say that I am not a fair judge? Do you want to show that I am guilty, not you? Then you could say that you are right. 9Do you have the same power to do great things as I have? Can you speak with a voice as loud as thunder? I can! If you think that you can do all this, show how great you are! Show everyone your power and your glory! 11Show everyone your great anger! Look at all the people who like to boast and bring them down low! 12Yes, cause all the proud people to be humble. Knock down wicked people to the ground.
