First, By his providential actings, in destroying proud and wicked men. This we have in the 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 verses; Deck thy self now with majesty and excellency, and array thy self with glory and beauty; cast abroad the rage of thy wrath, and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

All this I can do, and do in my providences daily; Job, canst thou do so too? Thus we have a proof of the great power and sovereignty of God taken from his judiciary proceedings with proud men.
