Job 22:21-30

Expanded Bible

²¹ “·Obey God [^LGet along with him] and be at peace with him;
    this is the way to ·happiness [or prosperity; ^CEliphaz calls on Job to repent].
²² Accept ·teaching [instruction] from his mouth,
    and ·keep [put] his words in your heart.
²³ If you return to ·the Almighty [Shaddai], you will be ·blessed again [^Lrestored].
    So remove ·evil [iniquity] from your ·house [^Ltent].
²⁴ ·Throw [Put] your gold nuggets into the dust
    and ·your fine gold [^LOphir; ^Creferring to the fine gold of the region of Ophir, perhaps southern Arabia] among the rocks in the ·ravines [wadis].
²⁵ Then ·the Almighty [Shaddai] will be your gold
    and the ·best [choice] silver for you.
²⁶ You will ·find pleasure [delight] in ·the Almighty [Shaddai],
    and you will ·look up [show favor] to him.
²⁷ You will ·pray to [entreat] him, and he will hear you,
    and you will keep your ·promises [vows; ^Cmade in anticipation of answered prayer] to him.
²⁸ Anything you decide will be done,
    and light will ·shine on [illuminate] your ways.
²⁹ When people are made humble and you say, ‘·Have courage [or It is pride],’
    then ·the humble [^Lthose with downcast eyes] will be saved.
³⁰ ·Even a guilty person will escape [or He rescues the innocent]
    and ·be saved [or and saves you] because your hands are ·clean [pure].”
