Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.

Context

12“Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him,
And tread down the wicked where they stand.

Bind them in the hidden place.

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

God’s Power Shown in Creatures

15“Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.

16“Behold now, his strength in his loins
And his power in the muscles of his belly.

17“He bends his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

18“His bones are tubes of bronze;
His limbs are like bars of iron.

19“He is the first of the ways of God;
Let his maker bring near his sword.

20“Surely the mountains bring him food,
And all the beasts of the field play there.

21“Under the lotus plants he lies down,
In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.

22“The lotus plants cover him with shade;
The willows of the brook surround him.

23“If a river rages, he is not alarmed;
He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.

24“Can anyone capture him when he is on watch,
With barbs can anyone pierce his nose?
