Job 36:18,19 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Because there is wrath Conceived by God against thee; because, by thy pleading the cause of the wicked, thou hast provoked God's wrath against thee; beware lest he take thee away by his stroke בשׂפק, besaphek, properly, with the stroke of his hand or foot, an allusion to men's expressing their anger by striking with their hand or stamping with their foot. Look to thyself, and reconcile thyself to God by true repentance, while thou hast an opportunity. A great ransom cannot deliver thee If once God's wrath take hold on thee, and sentence be executed upon thee before thou repentest and humblest thyself before thy judge, neither riches nor friends, nor any person or thing in heaven or earth can redeem thee: no ransom or price will be accepted for thee. Will he esteem thy riches? If thou hadst as much of them as ever; no, nor all the forces of strength The strongest forces; not if thou hadst all the treasure and all the force which all the powers of earth could muster up.
