2 Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him?
Let him who argues with God give an answer.A
4 I am so insignificant. How can I answer you?c
I place my hand over my mouth.
5 I have spoken once, and I will not reply;
twice, but now I can add nothing.d
6 Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:e
7 Get ready to answer me like a man;
when I questionf you, you will inform me.
8 Would you really challenge my justice?
Would you declare me guiltyg to justify yourself?h
9 Do you have an arm like God’s?
Can you thunder with a voice like his?
10 Adorn yourself with majestyi and splendor,
and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
11 Pour out your raging anger;j
look on every proud person and humiliate him.k
12 Look on every proud person and humble him;l
trample the wicked where they stand.B
13 Hide them together in the dust;
imprison them in the grave.C
that your own right handm can deliver you.n
which I made along with you.
He eats grass like cattle.
16 Look at the strength of his backD
and the power in the muscles of his belly.
17 He stiffens his tail like a cedar tree;
the tendons of his thighs are woven firmly together.
18 His bones are bronze tubes;
his limbs are like iron rods.
19 He is the foremost of God’s works;o
only his Maker can draw the sword against him.
20 The hills yield food for him,
while all sorts of wild animals play there.
21 He lies under the lotus plants,
hiding in the protectionE of marshy reeds.
22 Lotus plants cover him with their shade;
the willows by the brook surround him.
23 Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid;
he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth.
24 Can anyone capture him while he looks on,F
or pierce his nose with snares?

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
