Job 36:18

Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.

KJV

Non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas : nec multitudo donorum inclinet te.

Vulgate

θυμὸς δὲ ἐπ’ ἀσεβεῖς ἔσται, δι’ ἀσέβειαν δώρων ὧν ἐδέχοντο ἐπ’ ἀδικίαις.

LXX

For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

ASV

כִּֽי חֵ֭מָה פֶּן יְסִֽיתְ/ךָ֣ בְ/סָ֑פֶק וְ/רָב כֹּ֝֗פֶר אַל יַטֶּֽ/ךָּ
