New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 36
12 But if they refuse to listen to him, they will be killed by the sword and die from lack of understanding.
13 For the godless are full of resentment. Even when he punishes them, they refuse to cry out to him for help.
14 They die when they are young, after wasting their lives in immoral living.
15 But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity.
16 “God is leading you away from danger, Job, to a place free from distress. He is setting your table with the best food.
17 But you are obsessed with whether the godless will be judged. Don’t worry, judgment and justice will be upheld.
18 But watch out, or you may be seduced by wealth. Don’t let yourself be bribed into sin.
19 Could all your wealth or all your mighty efforts keep you from distress?
20 Do not long for the cover of night, for that is when people will be destroyed.
21 Be on guard! Turn back from evil, for God sent this suffering to keep you from a life of evil.
22 “Look, God is all-powerful. Who is a teacher like him?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
