Job 38:3

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s passover.

And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
