Job 22:21-30
New International Version
21 “Submit to God and be at peace(A) with him;(B)
in this way prosperity will come to you.(C)
22 Accept instruction from his mouth(D)
and lay up his words(E) in your heart.(F)
23 If you return(G) to the Almighty, you will be restored:(H)
If you remove wickedness far from your tent(I)
24 and assign your nuggets(J) to the dust,
your gold(K) of Ophir(L) to the rocks in the ravines,(M)
25 then the Almighty will be your gold,(N)
the choicest silver for you.(O)
26 Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty(P)
and will lift up your face(Q) to God.(R)
27 You will pray to him,(S) and he will hear you,(T)
and you will fulfill your vows.(U)
28 What you decide on will be done,(V)
and light(W) will shine on your ways.(X)
29 When people are brought low(Y) and you say, ‘Lift them up!’
then he will save the downcast.(Z)
30 He will deliver even one who is not innocent,(AA)
who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”(AB)

Eliphaz Challenges Job to Repent
21 “Get to know God, and you’ll be at peace with him,
and then prosperity will come to you.
22 Accept what he has to teach you,
and treasure his words in your heart.
23 “If you return to the Almighty you’ll be restored,
as you remove iniquity from your household.[a]
24 Bury your gold nuggets in the dust,
and your source of gold[b] among the stones in a streambed,
25 and then the Almighty will be your gold
and your refined silver.
26 “Then you’ll take delight in the Almighty;
and will turn your face toward God.
27 You’ll entreat him and he’ll listen to you
as you fulfill your vows.
28 When you make a decision on something,
it will be established for you,
and light will brighten[c] your way.
29 “For when they’re humbled, you may respond;[d]
‘It’s their pride!’
but he delivers the humble.
30 He’ll even deliver the guilty,
who will be delivered through your innocence.”[e]

Job 22:21-30
King James Version
21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
