Job 40:10

“Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency, etc.] With excellent majesty, as I am decked and clothed, (<199301>Psalm 93:1); and array thyself with glory and beauty; appear in the most glorious and splendid manner thou canst, make the best figure thou art able, put on royal robes, and take thy seat and throne, and sit as a king or judge in state and pomp, and exert thyself to do the following things; or take my seat and throne as the judge of the whole earth, and try if thou canst govern the world better than I do; for these and the expressions following are said in an ironic manner.”

“See, hast thou power and majesty like God's, to enable thee to judge and govern the world?”

“Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency - That is, such as God has. Put on everything which you can, which would indicate rank, wealth, power, and see whether it could all be compared with the majesty of God; compare Psalms 104:1, “O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty.” return to 'Top of Page'”

“Deck - Seeing thou makest thyself equal, yea, superior to me, take to thyself thy great power, come and sit in my throne, and display thy Divine perfections in the sight of the world. Job 40:13”

“Deck: Job 39:19; Psa 93:1, Psa 104:1, Psa 104:2; Isa 59:17 majesty: Ch1 29:11; Psa 21:5, Psa 45:3, Psa 45:4; Mat 6:13; Pe2 1:16, Pe2 1:17; Jde 1:24, Jde 1:25 glory: Exo 28:2; Psa 50:2, Psa 90:16, Psa 90:17, Psa 149:4; Isa 4:2 \*marg. Co1 15:54 Job 40:11”

“10 Deck thyself then with pomp and dignity, And in glory and majesty clothe thyself! 11 Let the overflowings of thy wrath pour forth, And behold all pride, and abase it! 12 Behold all pride, bring it low, And cast down the evil-doers in their place; 13 Hide them in the dust together, Bind their faces in secret: 14 Then I also will praise thee, That thy right hand obtaineth thee help. He is for once to put on the robes of the King of kings (עדה, comp. עטח, to wrap round, Psa 104:2), and send forth his wrath over pride and evil-doing, for their complete removal. הפיץ, effundere, diffundere, as Arab. afâda, vid., Job 37:11. עברות, or rather, according to the reading of Ben-Ascher, עברות…”
