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
International Standard Version
God is an All-Powerful and Just Teacher
16 “Indeed, he drew you away from the brink of distress
to a spacious place without constraints,
filling your festive[a] table with bountiful[b] food.
17 But now you are occupied with the case of the wicked;
but justice and judgment will be served.
18 So that no one entices you with riches,
don’t let a large ransom turn you astray.
19 “Will your wealth sustain you when you’re in distress,
despite your most powerful efforts?[c]
20 Don’t long for night,
when people vanish[d] in their place.
21 Be careful! Don’t turn to evil,
because of this you will be tried by more than affliction.
