Job 36:13-21 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

13. But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them.

14. They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

15. He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears in oppression.

16. Even so would he have removed you out of the distress into a broad place, where there is no restraint; and that which should be set on your table should be full of richness.

17. But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on you.

18. Because there is wrath, beware lest he take you away with one blow: then a great ransom cannot deliver you.

19. Will he esteem your riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

20. Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

21. Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this have you chosen rather than affliction.
