“Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you will inform 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 I will answer, or I will speak, and You respond to me.
Now gird up your loins like a man; I will question you, and you will inform Me!
You said, ‘Hear now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will inform Me.’
