Job 36:18
Compare all
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. 
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.
