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. ‡

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. ‡
