Job 36:16-21
New American Standard Bible
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.
Job 36:16-21
English Standard Version
16 He also allured you out of distress
into (A)a broad place where there was no cramping,
and what was set on your (B)table was full of (C)fatness.
17 “But you are full of the judgment on the wicked;
judgment and justice seize you.
18 Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing,
and let not the greatness of (D)the ransom turn you aside.
19 Will your (E)cry for help avail to keep you from distress,
or all the force of your strength?
20 Do not long for (F)the night,
when peoples vanish (G)in their place.
21 Take care; (H)do not turn to iniquity,
for this you have chosen rather than affliction.
