Job 36:16-21
Lexham English Bible
16 And what’s more, he allured you out of distress[a]
into a broad place, where in place of it was no constraint;
and what was set on your table is full of fatness.
17 But[b] you are obsessed with the judgment of the wicked;
judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Yes,[c] it is wrath, so that it will not incite you into mockery;
and do not let the ransom’s greatness turn you aside.
19 Will your cry for help sustain you without distress,
or[d] all the efforts of your strength?
20 You must not long for the night,
to cut off people in their place.[e]
21 Take care, you must not turn to mischief,
for because of this you have been tried by misery.
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.
