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)

21 “Agree with God,[a] and be at peace;
in this way good will come to you.(A)
22 Receive instruction from his mouth,
and lay up his words in your heart.(B)
23 If you return to the Almighty,[b] you will be restored,
if you remove unrighteousness from your tents,(C)
24 if you treat gold like dust
and gold of Ophir like the stones of the torrent bed,(D)
25 and if the Almighty[c] is your gold
and your precious silver,(E)
26 then you will delight yourself in the Almighty[d]
and lift up your face to God.(F)
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will pay your vows.(G)
28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.(H)
29 When others are humiliated, you say it is pride,
for he saves the humble.(I)
30 He will deliver even those who are guilty;
they will escape because of the cleanness of your hands.”[e](J)

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.
