Context of Job 22:28
26For then you will delight in the Almighty And lift up your face to God. 27You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; And you will pay your vows. You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways. 29When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence, And the humble person He will save. 30He will deliver one who is not innocent, And he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
