His fearful vision to humble the excellency of creatures before God.

In the context of the Book of Job, Job was a man of great wealth and piety, known for his righteousness (Job 1:1-3). The "trouble" refers to the series of calamities that have befallen him, including the loss of his children, wealth, and health (Job 1:13-19, 2:7).

Now it is thy turn - calamity has come upon thee and all that thou weft wont to say to others is forgotten. The wise physician cannot heal himself. Instead of receiving thy chastisement in a right spirit, thou "faintest," or rather, "thou art angry, art offended" - as the same verb is also to be translated in the second verse.
