16Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.
17But thou art full of the judgment of the wicked: Judgment and justice take hold [on thee].
18For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
19Will thy cry avail, [that thou be] not in distress, Or all the forces of [thy] strength?
20Desire not the night, When peoples are cut off in their place.
21Take heed, regard not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22Behold, God doeth loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like unto him?
