Job 36:16-21
Revised Standard Version
16 He also allured you out of distress
into a broad place where there was no cramping,
and what was set on your table was full of 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 the ransom turn you aside.
19 Will your cry avail to keep you from distress,
or all the force of your strength?
20 Do not long for the night,
when peoples are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, do not turn to iniquity,
for this you have chosen rather than affliction.
Job 36:16-21
American Standard Version
16 Yea, he would have allured thee [a]out of distress
Into a broad place, where there is no straitness;
And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.
17 But thou [b]art full of the judgment of the wicked:
Judgment and justice take hold on thee.
18 [c]For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements;
Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
19 Will thy cry avail, that thou be not in distress,
Or all the forces of thy strength?
20 Desire not the night,
When peoples [d]are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity:
For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
