Job 36:14-25
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 36

14 They die in youth, And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes. 15He rescues the afflicted in their misery, And opens their ears in time of oppression. 16Then indeed, He induced you away from the mouth of distress, And instead of it, a broad place with no constraint; And your table was full of rich food. 17'But you were full of judgment on the wicked; Judgment and justice take hold of you. 18 Beware that wrath does not entice you to mockery; And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside. 19Will your cry for help keep you from distress, Or all the exertions of your strength? 20Do not long for the night, When people vanish in their places. 21Be careful, do not turn to evil, For you preferred this to misery. 22Behold, God is exalted in His power; Who is a teacher like Him? 23Who has appointed Him His way, And who has said, ‘You have done wrong’? 24'Remember that you are to exalt His work, Of which people have sung. 25All people have seen it; Mankind looks at it from afar.
King James Version

Chapter 36

14They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
15He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
16Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
17But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
18Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
19Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 36

14They die in their youth; their life ends among male cult prostitutes.
15God rescues the afflicted by their affliction; he instructs them by their torment. 16Indeed, he lured you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and unconfined place. Your table was spread with choice food. 17Yet now you are obsessed with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you. 18Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large ransom lead you astray. 19Can your wealth or all your physical exertion keep you from distress? 20Do not long for the night when nations will disappear from their places.
21Be careful that you do not turn to iniquity, for that is why you have been tested by affliction. 22Look, God shows himself exalted by his power. Who is a teacher like him? 23Who has appointed his way for him, and who has declared, "You have done wrong"? 24Remember that you should praise his work, which people have sung about. 25All mankind has seen it; people have looked at it from a distance.
New Living Translation

Chapter 36

14They die when they are young, after wasting their lives in immoral living. 15But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity.
16'God is leading you away from danger, Job, to a place free from distress. He is setting your table with the best food. 17But you are obsessed with whether the godless will be judged. Don’t worry, judgment and justice will be upheld. 18But watch out, or you may be seduced by wealth. Don’t let yourself be bribed into sin. 19Could all your wealth or all your mighty efforts keep you from distress? 20Do not long for the cover of night, for that is when people will be destroyed. 21Be on guard! Turn back from evil, for God sent this suffering to keep you from a life of evil.
22'Look, God is all-powerful. Who is a teacher like him? 23No one can tell him what to do, or say to him, ‘You have done wrong.’ 24Instead, glorify his mighty works, singing songs of praise. 25Everyone has seen these things, though only from a distance.
English Standard Version

Chapter 36

14They die in youth, and their life ends among the cult prostitutes. 15He delivers the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ear by adversity. 16He also allured you out of distress into a broad place where there was no cramping, and what was set on your table was full of fatness. 17"But you are full of the judgment on the wicked; judgment and justice seize you. 18Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing, and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside. 19Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress, or all the force of your strength? 20Do not long for the night, when peoples vanish in their place. 21Take care; do not turn to iniquity, for this you have chosen rather than affliction. 22Behold, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him? 23Who has prescribed for him his way, or who can say, ‘You have done wrong’? 24"Remember to extol his work, of which men have sung. 25All mankind has looked on it; man beholds it from afar.
New International Version

Chapter 36

14They die in their youth, among male prostitutes of the shrines.
15But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction. 16"He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food. 17But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have taken hold of you. 18Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside. 19Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress? 20Do not long for the night, to drag people away from their homes.
21Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction. 22"God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him? 23Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’? 24Remember to extol his work, which people have praised in song. 25All humanity has seen it; mortals gaze on it from afar.
New King James Version

Chapter 36

14 They die in youth, And their life ends among the perverted persons. 15He delivers the poor in their affliction, And opens their ears in oppression. 16“Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress, Into a broad place where there is no restraint; And what is set on your table would be full of richness. 17But you are filled with the judgment due the wicked; Judgment and justice take hold of you. 18Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow; For a large ransom would not help you avoid it. 19 Will your riches, Or all the mighty forces, Keep you from distress? 20Do not desire the night, When people are cut off in their place. 21Take heed, do not turn to iniquity, For you have chosen this rather than affliction. 22“Behold, God is exalted by His power; Who teaches like Him? 23 Who has assigned Him His way, Or who has said, ‘You have done wrong’? 24“Remember to magnify His work, Of which men have sung. 25Everyone has seen it; Man looks on it from afar.
