Job 36:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ “Job, he wants to take you out of the jaws of trouble.
    He wants to bring you to a wide and safe place.
    He’d like to seat you at a table that is loaded with the best food.
¹⁷ But now you are loaded down
    with the punishment sinners will receive.
    You have been judged fairly.
¹⁸ Be careful that no one tempts you with riches.
    Don’t take money from people who want special favors,
    no matter how much it is.
