7gGird up thy loins now like a man:
hI will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8iWilt thou also disannul my judgment?
Wilt thou condemn me, kthat thou mayest be righteous?
9Hast thou an arm like God?
Or canst thou lthunder with a voice like him?
10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency;
And marray thyself with glory and beauty.
11Cast abroad nthe rage of thy wrath:
And obehold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12oLook on every one that is proud, and obring him low;
And tread down the wicked pin their place.
13qHide them qrin the dust together;
And bind their faces in secret.
14Then will I also confess unto thee
That sthine own right hand can save thee.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“Dress for action like a man;
I will question you, and you make it known to me.
Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
Have you an arm like God,
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
“Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity;
clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.
Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low
and tread down the wicked where they stand.
Hide them all in the dust together;
bind their faces in the world below.
Then will I also acknowledge to you
that your own right hand can save you.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
“Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
“Would you discredit my justice?
Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
Do you have an arm like God’s,
and can your voice thunder like his?
Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor,
and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.
Unleash the fury of your wrath,
look at all who are proud and bring them low,
look at all who are proud and humble them,
crush the wicked where they stand.
Bury them all in the dust together;
shroud their faces in the grave.
Then I myself will admit to you
that your own right hand can save you.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Get ready to answer me like a man;
when I question you, you will inform me.
Would you really challenge my justice?
Would you declare me guilty to justify yourself?
Do you have an arm like God’s?
Can you thunder with a voice like his?
Adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,
and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
Pour out your raging anger;
look on every proud person and humiliate him.
Look on every proud person and humble him;
trample the wicked where they stand.
Hide them together in the dust;
imprison them in the grave.
Then I will confess to you
that your own right hand can deliver you.

NLTNew Living Translation
“Brace yourself like a man,
because I have some questions for you,
and you must answer them.
“Will you discredit my justice
and condemn me just to prove you are right?
Are you as strong as God?
Can you thunder with a voice like his?
All right, put on your glory and splendor,
your honor and majesty.
Give vent to your anger.
Let it overflow against the proud.
Humiliate the proud with a glance;
walk on the wicked where they stand.
Bury them in the dust.
Imprison them in the world of the dead.
Then even I would praise you,
for your own strength would save you.

“Prepare yourself for a difficult task like a man,
and I will question you, and you shall declare to me.
“Indeed, would you annul my justice?
Would you condemn me, so that you might be righteous?
Or do you have an arm like God,
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
Adorn yourself with pride and dignity,
and clothe yourself with splendor.
Pour out the overflowing of your anger,
and look at all the proud, and humble them.
Look at all the proud, humble them,
and tread down the wicked where they stand.
Hide them in the dust together;
bind their faces in the grave.
And I will also praise you,
that your own right hand can save you.
