Job 36:16-21

16God has called you out of your troubles, Job. He wants you to live in a safe place where you have no problems. He wants you to have a comfortable life with plenty of good food to eat.

17But now you have a lot of trouble, because God is punishing you as wicked people deserve. God is right and fair to judge you like that.

18Be very careful! Do not let anyone use their riches to deceive you. Do not let them pay you a lot of money to do something that is wrong.

19Even if you become rich, that would not keep you safe. Even if you were strong and powerful, that would not keep trouble away from you.

20Do not wait for the night to hide what you want to do. That is the time when people disappear from their homes.

21Be careful! Do not try to do wicked things. God has sent these troubles to test you. He wants to stop you doing evil things.
