16 Then indeed, He induced you away from the mouth of distress,
And instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;
And your table was full of [a]rich food.

17 “But you were full of (A)judgment on the wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Beware that (B)wrath does not entice you to mockery;
And do not let the greatness of the (C)ransom turn you aside.
19 Will your cry for help keep you from distress,
Or all the exertions of your strength?
20 Do not long for (D)the night,
When people [b]vanish in their places.
21 Be careful, do (E)not turn to evil,
For you preferred this to (F)misery.
