Job 36:16-21
Lexham English Bible
Job 36:16-21
Lexham English Bible
16 And what’s more, he allured you out of distress[a]
into a broad place, where in place of it was no constraint;
and what was set on your table is full of fatness.
17 But[b] you are obsessed with the judgment of the wicked;
judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Yes,[c] it is wrath, so that it will not incite you into mockery;
and do not let the ransom’s greatness turn you aside.
19 Will your cry for help sustain you without distress,
or[d] all the efforts of your strength?
20 You must not long for the night,
to cut off people in their place.[e]
21 Take care, you must not turn to mischief,
for because of this you have been tried by misery.
Job 36:16-21
New International Version
Job 36:16-21
New International Version
16 “He is wooing(A) you from the jaws of distress
to a spacious place(B) free from restriction,(C)
to the comfort of your table(D) laden with choice food.(E)
17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked;(F)
judgment and justice have taken hold of you.(G)
18 Be careful that no one entices you by riches;
do not let a large bribe(H) turn you aside.(I)
19 Would your wealth(J) or even all your mighty efforts
sustain you so you would not be in distress?
20 Do not long for the night,(K)
to drag people away from their homes.[a]
21 Beware of turning to evil,(L)
which you seem to prefer to affliction.(M)
