Job 22:21-30
Amplified Bible
21
“Now yield and submit yourself to Him [agree with God and be conformed to His will] and be at peace;
In this way [you will prosper and great] good will come to you.
22
“Please receive the law and instruction from His mouth
And establish His words in your heart and keep them.(A)
23
“If you return to the Almighty [and submit and humble yourself before Him], you will be built up [and restored];
If you remove unrighteousness far from your tents,
24
And place your gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks [considering it of little value],
25
And make the Almighty your gold
And your precious silver,
26
Then you will have delight in the Almighty,
And you will lift up your face to God.
27
“You will pray to Him, and He will hear you,
And you will pay your vows.
28
“You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you;
And the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways.
29
“When you are cast down and humbled, you will speak with confidence,
And the humble person He will lift up and save.
30
“He will even rescue the one [for whom you intercede] who is not innocent;
And he will be rescued through the cleanness of your hands.”(B)

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 lift up your face to God.

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.

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.”
