Job 36:15-17
The Voice

15     As for the righteous—when they are afflicted—
        God delivers them through the affliction itself,
        and uses the trial to open their ears to His voice.
16     Job, even now, God is enticing you away from the jaws of distress;
        He is luring you to a wide, wonderful place free of boundaries
        where your table will be covered in the finest foods.

17     You are weighed down, instead, with judgment usually reserved for the wicked.
        And yet, ironically, as you seek to lay hold of justice and judgment,
        justice and judgment have laid hold of you.
