Job 36:17 Context
15He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eares in oppression. 16Euen so would he haue remooued thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitnesse, and that which should be set on thy table, should be full of fatnesse. 17But thou hast fulfilled the iudgement of the wicked: iudgement and iustice take hold on thee. 18Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransome cannot deliuer thee. 19Will he esteeme thy riches? no not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

Wesley's Notes for Job 36:17
36:17 The judgment - Or, the sentence, thou hast justified the hard speeches which wicked men utter against God. Therefore - Therefore the just judgment of God takes hold on thee. Thou hast maintained their cause against God, and God passes against thee the sentence of condemnation due to wicked men.
