Job 36:16-21
International Standard Version
God is an All-Powerful and Just Teacher
16 “Indeed, he drew you away from the brink of distress
to a spacious place without constraints,
filling your festive[a] table with bountiful[b] food.
17 But now you are occupied with the case of the wicked;
but justice and judgment will be served.
18 So that no one entices you with riches,
don’t let a large ransom turn you astray.
19 “Will your wealth sustain you when you’re in distress,
despite your most powerful efforts?[c]
20 Don’t long for night,
when people vanish[d] in their place.
21 Be careful! Don’t turn to evil,
because of this you will be tried by more than affliction.
