Job 36:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹     Will your cry for help lessen your misery?
        How about your strength and forcefulness?
        Are they yielding you any better result?
²⁰     Do not pine, Job, for the night
        when people pass from their earthly homes into oblivion.^[a]
21     In short, be careful! Do not turn your life toward evil ways—
        which you have preferred to hearing God’s correcting voice in the midst of your suffering.
