Job 22:21-30

New Century Version

²¹ “Obey God and be at peace with him;
    this is the way to happiness.
²² Accept teaching from his mouth,
    and keep his words in your heart.
²³ If you return to the Almighty, you will be blessed again.
    So remove evil from your house.
²⁴ Throw your gold nuggets into the dust
    and your fine gold among the rocks in the ravines.
²⁵ Then the Almighty will be your gold
    and the best silver for you.
²⁶ You will find pleasure in the Almighty,
    and you will look up to him.
²⁷ You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
    and you will keep your promises to him.
²⁸ Anything you decide will be done,
    and light will shine on your ways.
²⁹ When people are made humble and you say, ‘Have courage,’
    then the humble will be saved.
³⁰ Even a guilty person will escape
    and be saved because your hands are clean.”
