Job 36:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶    Job, even now, God is enticing you away from the jaws of distress;
        He is luring you to a wide, wonderful place free of boundaries
        where your table will be covered in the finest foods.

¹⁷    You are weighed down, instead, with judgment usually reserved for the wicked.
        And yet, ironically, as you seek to lay hold of justice and judgment,
        justice and judgment have laid hold of you.
¹⁸    Beware that your anger at how you are being judged does not seduce you into scorning.
        Do not let the high ransom you are paying through your suffering steer you off God’s path.
