Contextual Overview

6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, saying, 7"Now gird up your loins (prepare yourself) like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me. 8"Will you really annul My judgment and set it aside as void? Will you condemn Me [your God] that you may [appear to] be righteous and justified? 9"Have you an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? 10"Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity [since you question the Almighty], And array yourself with honor and majesty. 11"Pour out the overflowings of your wrath, And look at everyone who is proud and make him low. 12"Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him, And [if you are so able] tread down the wicked where they stand.13"[Crush and] hide them in the dust together; Shut them up in the hidden place [the house of death]. 14"[If you can do all this, Job, proving your divine power] then I [God] will also praise you and acknowledge That your own right hand can save you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Look on everyone [that is] proud, [and] bring him low,.... As the Lord often does; see Isaiah 2:11; this is the same as before;

and tread down the wicked in their place; the same with the proud, for pride makes men wicked; it is a sin, and very odious in the sight of God, and is highly resented by him; he resists the proud: now Job is bid, when he has brought proud men low, and laid their honour in the dust, to keep them there, to trample upon them, and tread them as mire in the street; and that in their own place, or wherever he should find them; the Septuagint render it "immediately"; see Isaiah 28:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And tread down the wicked in their place - Even in the very place where they are, crush them to the dust, as God can. It is implied that God was able to do this, and he appeals to it as a proof of his power.
