Job 36:16-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ “God ·is gently calling [has wooed/enticed] you from the jaws of ·trouble [distress]
    to an ·open place of freedom [^Lbroad place with no constraints]
    where he has set your table full of ·the best food [^Lfatness].
¹⁷ But now you are ·being punished like [obsessed/filled with the case of] the wicked;
    ·you are getting justice [^Ljudgment and justice hold on tight to you].
¹⁸ Be careful! ·Don’t be led away from God by riches [^L…lest anger seduce you by abundance];
    don’t let ·much money [a big ransom/bribe] turn you away.
¹⁹ Neither your wealth nor all your great strength
    will keep you out of trouble.
²⁰ Don’t ·wish [pant; long] for the night
    when people are taken from their homes.
²¹ Be careful not to turn to evil,
    which you ·seem to want more [have chosen rather] than ·suffering [affliction].
