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.
Job 36:16-21
Authorized (King James) Version
16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait
into a broad place, where there is no straitness;
and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked:
judgment and justice take hold on thee.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke:
then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
19 Will he esteem thy riches?
no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20 Desire not the night,
when people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity:
for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
