Job 22:21-30
Legacy Standard Bible
21 “[a](A)Yield now and be at peace with Him;
Thereby good will come to you.
22 Please receive [b](B)instruction from His mouth
And set His words in your heart.
23 If you (C)return to [c]the Almighty, you will be [d]restored;
If you (D)remove unrighteousness far from your tent,
24 And (E)put your [e]gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks,
25 Then [f]the Almighty will be your [g]gold
And choice silver to you.
26 For then you will (F)delight in [h]the Almighty
And lift up your face to God.
27 You will (G)entreat Him, and (H)He will hear you;
And you will pay your vows.
28 You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you;
And (I)light will shine on your ways.
29 When [i]some are cast down, you will speak with [j]confidence,
And the [k](J)humble person He will save.
30 He will provide escape for one who is not innocent,
And he will (K)escape through the cleanness of your hands.”
Job 22:21-30
Common English Bible
Turn to God
21 Get along well with God and be at peace;
from this something good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from his mouth;
put his words in your mind.
23 If you return to the Almighty,[a] you will be restored;
if you keep wrongdoing out of your tent.
24 Lay your prized possession in the dust,
your gold from Ophir on a rock in a desert streambed.
25 The Almighty will be your prized possession,
silver piled up for you.
26 Then you will take pleasure in the Almighty;
lift up your face to God.
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you;
you will fulfill your solemn promises.
28 If you decree something, it will stand;
light will shine on your ways.
29 When they’re humbled, you will say: “Cheer up;
God will rescue the lowly.
30 He will deliver the guilty;
they will be saved by your pure hands.”
