Job 40:13

11 Disperse the rage of your wrath;
Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him.

12 Look on everyone who is ^aproud, and bring him low;
Tread down the wicked in their place.

13 Hide them in the dust together,
Bind their faces in hidden darkness.

14 Then I will also confess to you
That your own right hand can save you.

15 “Look now at the¹ behemoth, which I made along with you;
He eats grass like an ox.

What Does Job 40:13 Mean?

Job 40:1-14

Job is confronted with overwhelming evidence that had him tightly backed into an inescapable corner. He is honest enough and loves truth enough that he does not even attempt to escape. With a mountain of truth and logic, God smashes Job's image of himself into a million pieces.
