Job 22:21-30

21“1 2Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you.22Please receive 3 4instruction from His mouth And establish His words in your heart.23If you 5return to 6the Almighty, you will be 7restored; If you 8remove unrighteousness far from your tent,24And 9place your 10gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks,25Then 11the Almighty will be your 12gold And choice silver to you.26For then you will 13delight in 14the Almighty And lift up your face to God.27You will 15pray to Him, and 16He will hear you; And you will pay your vows.28You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And 17light will shine on your ways.29When 18you are cast down, you will speak with 19confidence, And the 20 21humble person He will save.30He will deliver one who is not innocent, And he will be 22delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
