Job 36:16-21
Legacy Standard Bible
16 Then indeed, He (A)enticed you from the mouth of distress,
Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;
And the comfort of your table full of [a]fatness.
17 “But you were full of (B)judgment on the wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Beware lest (C)wrath entice you to scoffing;
And do not let the greatness of the (D)atonement turn you aside.
19 Will your [b]cries keep you from distress,
Or all the forces of your power?
20 Do not long for (E)the night,
When people [c]vanish in their place.
21 Be careful, do (F)not turn to wickedness,
For you have chosen this to (G)affliction.
Job 36:16-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 Indeed, He lured you from the jaws[a] of distress
to a spacious and unconfined place.
Your table was spread with choice food.
17 Yet now you are obsessed with the judgment due the wicked;
judgment and justice have seized you.
18 Be careful that no one lures you with riches;[b]
do not let a large ransom[c] lead you astray.(A)
19 Can your wealth[d] or all your physical exertion
keep you from distress?(B)
20 Do not long for the night
when nations will disappear from their places.
21 Be careful that you do not turn to iniquity,
for that is why you have been tested by[e] affliction.
