Job 22:21-30

The Voice

²¹     Now be of use to God;
        be at peace with Him,
        and goodness will return to your life.
²²     Receive instruction directly from His lips,
        and make His words a part of you.
²³     If you return to the Highest One,
        you will be restored;
        if you banish the evil from your tents,
²⁴     And consider your gold as common as earth’s dust
        and Ophir’s refined gold as plentiful as stones in rock-lined streams,
²⁵     Then your true treasure will be the Highest One—
        worth more than gold and silver beyond measure.
²⁶     For then, at last, you will find pleasure in the Highest One,
        and you will finally be able to show Him your face.
²⁷     When you approach Him, He will listen;
        you will make good on your promises to Him.
²⁸     You will pronounce something to be,
        and He will make it so;
        light will break out across all of your paths.
²⁹     God will humble, but you say, “Raise them up.”
        He will save the downcast.
³⁰     He will even consent to deliver those who are not innocent
        through the purity of your then-washed-clean hands.
