Job 22:21-30
New King James Version
21 “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and (A)be at peace;
Thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive, please, (B)instruction from His mouth,
And (C)lay up His words in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
24 Then you will (D)lay your gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 Yes, the Almighty will be your [a]gold
And your precious silver;
26 For then you will have your (E)delight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.
27 (F)You will make your prayer to Him,
He will hear you,
And you will pay your vows.
28 You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways.
29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’
Then (G)He will save the humble person.
30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent;
Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”
Job 22:21-30
American Standard Version
21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:
[a]Thereby good shall come unto thee.
22 Receive, I pray thee, [b]the law from his mouth,
And lay up his words in thy heart.
23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,
[c]If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.
24 And lay thou thy [d]treasure [e]in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;
25 And the Almighty will be thy [f]treasure,
And [g]precious silver unto thee.
26 For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty,
And shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee;
And thou shalt pay thy vows.
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee;
And light shall shine upon thy ways.
29 When they [h]cast thee down, thou shalt say, There is lifting up;
And [i]the humble person he will save.
30 He will deliver even him that is not innocent:
Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
