Job 36:16-21
American Standard Version
16 Yea, he would have allured thee [a]out of distress
Into a broad place, where there is no straitness;
And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.
17 But thou [b]art full of the judgment of the wicked:
Judgment and justice take hold on thee.
18 [c]For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements;
Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
19 Will thy cry avail, that thou be not in distress,
Or all the forces of thy strength?
20 Desire not the night,
When peoples [d]are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity:
For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
