* [[God]] from [[The Bible|the Old Testament]] ''loves'' this trope. Chapters 38 to 41 of the book of Job is basically one humongous [[Badass Boast]] to Job demonstrating His power and might. And of course, He can do it the understated way too:
{{quote|"I am the {{smallcaps|lord}} your God, who brought you out of Egypt."}}
Line 21 ⟶ 24:
** David has a pretty awesome one when he tells King Saul that he's [[Curb Stomp Battle|going to kill Goliath:]]
{{quote|''[[The Bible|1 Samuel 17: 34-37]]'' "But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a [[King of Beasts|lion]] or a [[Everything's Worse with Bears|bear]] came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|struck it]] and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”"}}
*** slightly later: "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
** In 2nd Corinthians chapter 11, Paul gives a sort of [[Badass Boast]], in order to humor the people that he is writing to:
{{quote|''[[The Bible|2 Corinthians 11:24-33]], KJV'' "Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:3And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands."}}
** Amos 2:13-16:
{{quote|"''Now then, I will crush you as a cart crushes when loaded with grain. The swift will not escape, the strong will not muster their strength, and the warrior will not save his life. The archer will not stand his ground, the fleet-footed soldier will not get away, and the horseman will not save his life. Even the bravest warriors will flee naked on that day", declares [[God|the Lord]].''}}
