Job 36:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 They will die young—
their life[a] among the reprobate.
15 But he saves the afflicted through their affliction,
and opens their ears through oppression.
16 [b]He entices you from distress,
to a broad place without constraint;
what rests on your table is rich food.
Footnotes
- 36:14 Life: a miserable life before death or a shadowy existence in Sheol. Reprobate: cf. Dt 23:18–19.
- 36:16–20 The Hebrew text here is obscure. Although each verse makes some sense, they do not constitute a logical sequence.
