Job 36:16-21

New Century Version

¹⁶ “God is gently calling you from the jaws of trouble
    to an open place of freedom
    where he has set your table full of the best food.
¹⁷ But now you are being punished like the wicked;
    you are getting justice.
¹⁸ Be careful! Don’t be led away from God by riches;
    don’t let much money turn you away.
¹⁹ Neither your wealth nor all your great strength
    will keep you out of trouble.
²⁰ Don’t wish for the night
    when people are taken from their homes.
²¹ Be careful not to turn to evil,
    which you seem to want more than suffering.
