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
New King James Version
16 “Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress,
(A)Into a broad place where there is no restraint;
And (B)what is set on your table would be full of (C)richness.
17 But you are filled with the judgment due the (D)wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow;
For (E)a large ransom would not help you avoid it.
19 (F)Will your riches,
Or all the mighty forces,
Keep you from distress?
20 Do not desire the night,
When people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, (G)do not turn to iniquity,
For (H)you have chosen this rather than affliction.
