Job 36:16
Compare all
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.
