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.”

International Standard Version
Eliphaz Challenges Job to Repent
21 “Get to know God, and you’ll be at peace with him,
and then prosperity will come to you.
22 Accept what he has to teach you,
and treasure his words in your heart.
23 “If you return to the Almighty you’ll be restored,
as you remove iniquity from your household.[a]
24 Bury your gold nuggets in the dust,
and your source of gold[b] among the stones in a streambed,
25 and then the Almighty will be your gold
and your refined silver.
26 “Then you’ll take delight in the Almighty;
and will turn your face toward God.
27 You’ll entreat him and he’ll listen to you
as you fulfill your vows.
28 When you make a decision on something,
it will be established for you,
and light will brighten[c] your way.
29 “For when they’re humbled, you may respond;[d]
‘It’s their pride!’
but he delivers the humble.
30 He’ll even deliver the guilty,
who will be delivered through your innocence.”[e]
