Job 36:16-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ Certainly he is drawing you out of the jaws of distress
    to a wide-open place, where you will not be hemmed in.
You will be comfortable at your table covered with rich food.
¹⁷ But now you are caught up with the judgment of the wicked,
and judgment and justice have taken hold of you.
¹⁸ Watch out, so that no one lures you with luxury.
Do not let a large payment turn you aside.
¹⁹ Can your affluence arrange for your security,
    so that you do not suffer want?
Can even your strongest efforts accomplish that?
²⁰ Do not long for night time, when nations vanish from their place.^[a]
21 Watch out. Do not turn to evil,
because that is why you have been tested by affliction.^[b]
