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)

21 “(A)Be reconciled with Him, and be at peace;
Thereby good will come to you.
22 Please receive [a](B)instruction from His mouth,
And put His words in your heart.
23 If you (C)return to [b]the Almighty, you will be [c]restored;
If you (D)remove injustice far from your tent,
24 And (E)put your [d]gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks,
25 Then [e]the Almighty will be your [f]gold
And abundant silver to you.
26 For then you will (F)take pleasure in [g]the Almighty
And lift up your face to God.
27 You will (G)pray to Him, and (H)He will hear you;
And you will pay your vows.
28 You will also decide something, and it will be established for you;
And (I)light will shine on your ways.
29 When [h]they have brought you low, you will speak with [i]confidence,
And He will save the [j](J)humble person.
30 He will rescue one who is not innocent,
And he will be (K)rescued due to the cleanness of your hands.”
