Job 36:16-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ “Yes, he lured you away from the jaws of trouble
into an open area where you were not restrained,
and your table was covered with rich foods.
¹⁷ But you are given the judgment evil people deserve.
A fair judgment will be upheld.
¹⁸ Be careful that you are not led astray with riches.
Don’t let a large bribe turn you ⌞to evil ways⌟.
¹⁹ Will your riches save you from having to suffer?
Will all your mighty strength help you?
²⁰ Don’t look forward to the night,
when people disappear from their places.
²¹ Be careful! Don’t turn to evil,
because you have chosen evil instead of suffering.
