Job 36:17

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.

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?

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