“Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.”
Job 40:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 40:12
"Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place." God challenges Job to humble the proud and judge the wicked—divine prerogatives Job cannot exercise. The verbs hakhni'ehu (הַכְנִיעֵהוּ, "bring him low/humble him") and hadokem (הֲדֹכֵם, "tread them down") describe decisive judgment. Job protested that God doesn't adequately punish wickedness; God retorts that Job lacks power to do so himself. This teaches that those who cannot remedy injustice should not presume to judge the Judge.
