14 They die while they are still young,and their lives end in disgrace.
15 But God saves those who suffer through their suffering;he gets them to listen through their pain.
16 “God is gently calling you from the jaws of troubleto an open place of freedomwhere he has set your table full of the best food.
17 But now you are being punished like the wicked;you are getting justice.
18 Be careful! Don’t be led away from God by riches;don’t let much money turn you away.
19 Neither your wealth nor all your great strengthwill keep you out of trouble.
20 Don’t wish for the nightwhen people are taken from their homes.
