Job 22:21-30

Modern English Version

²¹ “Now acquaint yourself with Him and be at peace;
    thereby good will come to you.
²² Receive, I pray, the teaching from His mouth,
    and lay up His words in your heart.
²³ If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
    you will put away iniquity far from your tents.
²⁴ Then you will lay up gold as dust,
    and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
²⁵ Yes, the Almighty will be your gold
    and your precious silver;
²⁶ for then you will delight yourself in the Almighty,
    and will lift up your face unto God.
²⁷ You will make your prayer to Him, and He will hear you,
    and you will pay your vows.
²⁸ You will also declare a matter, and it will be established unto you;
    and the light will shine upon your ways.
²⁹ When men are cast down, and you say, ‘There is a time of exaltation!’
    then He will save the humble person.
³⁰ He will even deliver one who is not innocent;
    he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”
