American King James Version
"Because there is wrath, beware lest he take you away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver you. "
— Job 36:18, American King James Version
“Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.”
“For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside. ”
“Don't let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.”
“Be careful that no one entices you with riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.”
“Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man: neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.”
“Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.”
He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears in oppression.
Even so would he have removed you out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no narrow place; and that which should be set on your table should be full of fatness.
But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on you.
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take you away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver you.
Will he esteem your riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this have you chosen rather than affliction.
