Discovery BoxJob 40:9-11 
Context40:9 Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s, 1
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
40:10 Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency,
and clothe yourself with glory and honor!
40:11 Scatter abroad 2 the abundance 3 of your anger.
Look at every proud man 4 and bring him low;
1 tn Heb “do you have an arm like God?” The words “as powerful as” have been supplied in the translation to clarify the metaphor.
2 tn The verb was used for scattering lightning (Job 37:11). God is challenging Job to unleash his power and judge wickedness in the world.
3 tn Heb “the overflowings.”
4 tn The word was just used in the positive sense of excellence or majesty; now the exalted nature of the person refers to self-exaltation, or pride.
