New International Reader's Version

Job 36:14-18 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. They die while they are still young. They die among the male prostitutes at the temples.

15. But God saves suffering people while they are suffering. He speaks to them while they are hurting.

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.
