Ayub 31:4

31:4 Does he not see my ways

and count all my steps?

Ayub 40:6-7

The Lord’s Second Speech ¹ 

40:6 Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:

40:7 “Get ready for a difficult task ²  like a man.

I will question you and you will inform me!

Yesaya 13:11

13:11 ³ I will punish the world for its evil, ⁴ 

and wicked people for their sin.

I will put an end to the pride of the insolent,

I will bring down the arrogance of tyrants. ⁵ 

Daniel 5:20

5:20 And when his mind ⁶  became arrogant ⁷  and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.

Daniel 5:23

5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone – gods ⁸  that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control ⁹  your very breath and all your ways!

Matius 23:12

23:12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

[40:6]  ¹ sn The speech can be divided into three parts: the invitation to Job to assume the throne and rule the world (40:7-14), the description of Behemoth (40:15-24), and the description of Leviathan (41:1-34).

[40:7]  ² tn See note on “task” in 38:3.

[13:11]  ³ sn The Lord is definitely speaking (again?) at this point. See the note at v. 4.

[13:11]  ⁴ tn Or “I will bring disaster on the world.” Hebrew רָעָה (ra’ah) could refer to the judgment (i.e., disaster, calamity) or to the evil that prompts it. The structure of the parallel line favors the latter interpretation.

[13:11]  ⁵ tn Or perhaps, “the violent”; cf. NASB, NIV “the ruthless.”

[5:20]  ⁶ tn Aram “heart.”

[5:20]  ⁷ sn The point of describing Nebuchadnezzar as arrogant is that he had usurped divine prerogatives, and because of his immense arrogance God had dealt decisively with him.

[5:23]  ⁸ tn Aram “which.”

[5:23]  ⁹ tn Aram “in whose hand [are].”
