Job 36:16-21
Legacy Standard Bible
16 Then indeed, He (A)enticed you from the mouth of distress,
Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;
And the comfort of your table full of [a]fatness.
17 “But you were full of (B)judgment on the wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Beware lest (C)wrath entice you to scoffing;
And do not let the greatness of the (D)atonement turn you aside.
19 Will your [b]cries keep you from distress,
Or all the forces of your power?
20 Do not long for (E)the night,
When people [c]vanish in their place.
21 Be careful, do (F)not turn to wickedness,
For you have chosen this to (G)affliction.

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)
