Job 36:20

Job 36:20

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

19 ^aWill 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, ^ado not turn to iniquity,
For ^byou have chosen this rather than affliction.

22 “Behold, God is exalted by His power;
Who teaches like Him?

<< Job 36:19

Job 36:21 >>

Desire not the night - Thou hast wished for death; (here called night); desire it not; leave that with God. If he hear thee, and send death, thou mayest be cut off in a way at which thy soul would shudder.
