Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 40 of Job. God asks Job whether he still wishes to contend with the Almighty, and Job responds by acknowledging his smallness. God then challenges Job’s ability to govern the world, humble the proud, and establish universal justice. The passage clarifies that the issue was not simply that Job had suffered, but that he sought to judge God’s entire government from his limited perspective.

Ja, schaue die Hochmütigen, wo sie sind und beuge sie; und zermalme die Gottlosen, wo sie sind!
Mira a todo soberbio, y humíllalo, Y quebranta a los impíos en su asiento.
Mira a todo orgulloso y abátelo; aplasta a los malvados donde están.
D'un regard humilie les hautains, Ecrase sur place les méchants,
Riguarda ogni altiero, ed atterralo; E trita gli empi, e spronfondali;
Olha para todo o soberbo, e humilha-o, e atropela os ímpios no seu lugar.
你見一切驕傲的人,將他制伏, 把惡人踐踏在原來地方。
