Job 36:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ God has called you out of your troubles, Job.
He wants you to live in a safe place
    where you have no problems.
He wants you to have a comfortable life
    with plenty of good food to eat.
¹⁷ But now you have a lot of trouble,
    because God is punishing you as wicked people deserve.
God is right and fair to judge you like that.
¹⁸ Be very careful!
    Do not let anyone use their riches to deceive you.
Do not let them pay you a lot of money
    to do something that is wrong.
