Job 22:21-30
World English Bible
21 “Acquaint yourself with him, now, and be at peace.
By it, good will come to you.
22 Please receive instruction from his mouth,
and lay up his words in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up,
if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
24 Lay your treasure in the dust,
the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 The Almighty will be your treasure,
and precious silver to you.
26 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty,
and will lift up your face to God.
27 You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you.
You will pay your vows.
28 You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you.
Light will shine on your ways.
29 When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’
He will save the humble person.
30 He will even deliver him who is not innocent.
Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
Job 22:21-30

21 (A)“Agree with God, and (B)be at peace;
thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from (C)his mouth,
and (D)lay up his words in your heart.
23 If you (E)return to the Almighty you will be (F)built up;
if you (G)remove injustice far from your tents,
24 if you lay gold in (H)the dust,
and gold of (I)Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,

and your precious silver.

and (N)light will shine on your ways.
29 For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;[a]
but he saves (O)the lowly.
30 He (P)delivers even the one who is not innocent,
who will be delivered through (Q)the cleanness of your hands.”
