Job 36:15-25

15 But God teaches people through suffering and uses distress to open their eyes.

15 But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.

16 God brought you out of trouble, and let you enjoy security; your table was piled high with food.

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.

17 But now you are being punished as you deserve.

17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have taken hold of you.

18 Be careful not to let bribes deceive you, or riches lead you astray.

18 Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.

19 It will do you no good to cry out for help; all your strength can't help you now.

19 Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress?

20 Don't wish for night to come, the time when nations will perish.

20 Do not long for the night, to drag people away from their homes.

21 Be careful not to turn to evil; your suffering was sent to keep you from it.

21 Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction.

22 Remember how great is God's power; he is the greatest teacher of all.

22 “God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

23 No one can tell God what to do or accuse him of doing evil.

23 Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?

24 He has always been praised for what he does; you also must praise him.

24 Remember to extol his work, which people have praised in song.

25 Everyone has seen what he has done; but we can only watch from a distance.

25 All humanity has seen it; mortals gaze on it from afar.
