Job 36:18–19

Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing,

and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.

Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress,

or all the force of your strength?

Be careful that no one entices you by riches;

do not let a large bribe turn you aside.

Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts

sustain you so you would not be in distress?

Be careful that no one lures you with riches;

do not let a large ransom lead you astray.

Can your wealth or all your physical exertion

keep you from distress?

But watch out, or you may be seduced by wealth.

Don’t let yourself be bribed into sin.

Could all your wealth

or all your mighty efforts

keep you from distress?

Yes, it is wrath, so that it will not incite you into mockery;

and do not let the ransom’s greatness turn you aside.

Will your cry for help sustain you without distress,

or all the efforts of your strength?

Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke:

Then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.

Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold,

Nor all the forces of strength.
