21 (A)Be reconciled with Him, and be at peace;
Thereby good will come to you.
22 Please receive [a](B)instruction from His mouth,
And put His words in your heart.
23 If you (C)return to [b]the Almighty, you will be [c]restored;
If you (D)remove injustice far from your tent,
24 And (E)put your [d]gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks,
25 Then [e]the Almighty will be your [f]gold
And abundant silver to you.
26 For then you will (F)take pleasure in [g]the Almighty
And lift up your face to God.
27 You will (G)pray to Him, and (H)He will hear you;
And you will pay your vows.
28 You will also decide something, and it will be established for you;
And (I)light will shine on your ways.
29 When [h]they have brought you low, you will speak with [i]confidence,
And He will save the [j](J)humble person.
30 He will rescue one who is not innocent,
And he will be (K)rescued due to the cleanness of your hands.”
