Context of Job 36:19
17“But you were full of judgment on the wicked; Judgment and justice take hold of you. 18Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing; And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside. Will your riches keep you from distress, Or all the forces of your strength? 20Do not long for the night, When people vanish in their place. 21Be careful, do not turn to evil, For you have preferred this to affliction.
