job 36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. - Free Bible Online

job 36:21 "Be careful, do not turn to evil; For you have preferred this to affliction.


      21. regard--literally, "turn thyself to."
      iniquity--namely, presumptuous speaking against God (Job 34:5, and above, see on Job 36:17, 18).
      rather than--to bear "affliction" with pious patience. Men think it an alleviation to complain against God, but this is adding sin to sorrow; it is sin, not sorrow, which can really hurt us (contrast Heb 11:25).
