Job 36:15-26 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. He saves the weak in their affliction,opens their ears through oppression.

16. Surely he draws you up from the brink of troubleto a wide place without distress;your table is set with rich food.

17. You are overly concerned about the case of the wicked;justice will be upheld in it.

18. Don’t let them lure you with wealth;don’t let a huge bribe mislead you.

19. Will he arrange your rescue from distressor from all your exertions of strength?

20. Don’t wish for the nightwhen people vanish from their place.

21. Take care; don’t turn to evilbecause you’ve chosen it over affliction.

22. Look, God is inaccessible due to his power;who is a teacher like him?

23. Who has repaid him for his action,and who would ever say, "You’ve done wrong"?

24. Remember to praise his workthat all of us have seen.

25. Every person has seen him;people can observe at great distance.

26. Look, God is exalted and unknowable;the number of his years is beyond counting.
