Job 22:21-30
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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
Lexham English Bible
21 “Please reconcile yourself with him,
and be at peace; in this way,[a] good will come to you.
22 Please receive instruction from his mouth,
and place his words in your heart.
23 If you return to Shaddai, you will be restored;
if you remove wickedness from your tent,
24 and if you put gold ore in the dust,
and the gold of Ophir in the rock of wadis,
25 then[b] Shaddai will be your gold ore
and your precious silver.[c]
26 Indeed, then you will delight yourself in Shaddai,
and you will expect that God will be good to you.[d]
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will pay your vows.
28 And you will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.
29 When they are humiliated, you say,[e] ‘It is pride,’
for[f] he saves the humble.[g]
30 He will deliver the guilty,
and he will escape because of the cleanness of your hands.”
