Job 36:11-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. If they obey him and serve him, they'll enjoy a long and happy life. Things will go well with them.

12. But if they don't listen to him, they'll be killed with swords. They'll die because they didn't want to know anything about him.

13. "Those whose hearts are ungodly are always angry. Even when God puts them in chains, they don't cry out for help.

14. They die while they are still young. They die among the male prostitutes at the temples.

15. But God saves suffering people while they are suffering. He speaks to them while they are hurting.

16. "Job, he wants to take you out of the jaws of trouble. He wants to bring you to a wide and safe place. He'd like to seat you at a table that is loaded with the best food.
