Job 36:16-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 He also allured you out of distress
into a broad place where there was no constraint,
and what was set on your table was full of fatness.(A)
17 “But you are obsessed with the case of the wicked;
judgment and justice seize you.
18 Beware that wrath does not entice you into scoffing,
and do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.(B)
19 Will your cry avail to keep you from distress,
or will all the force of your strength?
20 Do not long for the night,
when peoples are cut off in their place.(C)
21 Beware! Do not turn to iniquity;
because of that you have been tried by affliction.(D)
