“Now gird up your loins like a man; I ask you, and you answer Me.
Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Gird up your loins now like a man; I will demand of you, and you answer Me.
Prepare yourself like a man; I will interrogate you, and you will respond to me.
Look down upon each of the arrogant and confound them, and crush the impious in their place.
Look on all that are proud, and confound them: and crush the wicked in their place.
Then call, and let me answer; or let me speak, and You reply to me.
Now gird up your loins like a man, and I ask you, and you answer Me.
Listen, please, and let me speak. I ask You, then would You make it known to me?’
