Job 36:16-21
World English Bible
16 Yes, he would have allured you out of distress,
into a wide place, where there is no restriction.
That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
17 “But you are full of the judgment of the wicked.
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Don’t let riches entice you to wrath,
neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
19 Would your wealth sustain you in distress,
or all the might of your strength?
20 Don’t desire the night,
when people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, don’t regard iniquity;
for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
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.
