Job 36:19

No other ransom will avail, not riches nor all the power of wealth. Only the purification of suffering will cleanse him from his evil (cf. ch. Job 34:36), and deliver him. Elihu demands with emphasis whether all his riches will be accepted as a ransom? It need not be said that the question is put merely for the purpose of heightening the effect of the idea in Job 36:18, that suffering is the only ransom possible. A similar thought is expressed in Psalms 49:7: "None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him; for the redemption of their soul is too precious and it ceaseth for ever."

The word translated "without stint" (Conant) is lit. without straitness. The word is often used for distress(Job 36:16), and the clause might be rendered: will thy riches suffice(lit. be equal to it, ch. Job 28:19), without distress, i.e. such afflictions as those now suffered? This is rather flat. The A. V. assumes that the expression is the word oreor gold, ch. Job 22:24, differently spelled. This assumption is both improbable in itself and contrary to the balance of the verse.
