‏ Job 40:11-14

v. 11: God commands Job to pour out his anger on the proud and humble them with a glance if he can . Only God can truly bring down the proud and deal justly with wicked people.

v. 12: God tells Job to look at everyone who is proud and bring them low, to crush the wicked where they stand . God alone has the power to humble the proud and punish oppressors.

v. 13: God says that He can hide the proud in the dust and bind their faces in secret . This means God can destroy the wicked completely, even making them forgotten and powerless (Exodus 2:12; Job 17:16 ^a).

v. 14: God finishes by saying that if Job could do all these things, then God would admit that Job’s own right hand could save him . But Job cannot save himself or others by his own strength. Only the Lord has that power, so we must trust Him and not our own abilities.
