Job 36:16

Job 36:16

14 ^aThey¹ die in youth,
And their life ends among the¹ perverted persons.

15 He delivers the poor in their affliction,
And opens their ears in oppression.

16 “Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress,
^aInto a broad place where there is no restraint;
And ^bwhat is set on your table would be full of ^crichness.

17 But you are filled with the judgment due the ^awicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.

18 Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow;
For ^aa large ransom would not help you avoid it.

Even so would he have removed thee - If thou hadst turned to, obeyed, and served him, thy present state would have been widely different from what it is.
