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 King James Version
16 “Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress,
(A)Into a broad place where there is no restraint;
And (B)what is set on your table would be full of (C)richness.
17 But you are filled with the judgment due the (D)wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow;
For (E)a large ransom would not help you avoid it.
19 (F)Will your riches,
Or all the mighty forces,
Keep you from distress?
20 Do not desire the night,
When people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, (G)do not turn to iniquity,
For (H)you have chosen this rather than affliction.
