New International Version (NIV)

16“He is wooing you from the jaws of distress

to a spacious place free from restriction,

to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.

16“Then indeed, He induced you away from the mouth of distress,

And instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;

And your table was full of rich food.

16“Then indeed, He enticed you from the mouth of distress and confinement,

Into a broad place where there is no constraint or distress;

And that which was set on your table was full of fatness (rich food).

16Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress

to a spacious and broad place,

to a table full of richness.

16“Job, he wants to take you out of the jaws of trouble.

He wants to bring you to a wide and safe place.

He’d like to seat you at a table that is loaded with the best food.
