Job 36:15
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.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
