Job 36:21

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.

Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.

22 Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?

23 Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
