Bible verse
But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
Job 36:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 36.
13 The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.
14 They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.
15 God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
16 Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.
17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
18 Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
19 Can your wealth or all your mighty effort keep you from distress?
20 Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.
21 Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
