Job 36:16-21

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Surely he draws you up from the brink of trouble
    to a wide place without distress;
    your table is set with rich food.
¹⁷ You are overly concerned about the case of the wicked;
    justice will be upheld in it.
¹⁸ Don’t let them lure you with wealth;
    don’t let a huge bribe mislead you.
¹⁹ Will he arrange your rescue from distress
    or from all your exertions of strength?
²⁰ Don’t wish for the night
    when people vanish from their place.
²¹ Take care; don’t turn to evil
    because you’ve chosen it over affliction.
