9Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? 10“Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty. Pour out the overflowings of your anger, And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low. 12Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him, And tread down the wicked where they stand. 13Hide them in the dust together; Bind them in the hidden place.
