Job 36:16-18
Darby Translation
16 Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table [would be] full of fatness.
17 But thou art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].
18 Because there is wrath, [beware] lest it take thee away through chastisement: then a great ransom could not avail thee.
