7. “Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8. Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9. Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10. “Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
11. Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12. Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
