Job 22:21-30

21“1Be reconciled with Him, and be at peace; Thereby good will come to you.22Please receive 2 3instruction from His mouth, And put His words in your heart.23If you 4return to 5the Almighty, you will be 6restored; If you 7remove injustice far from your tent,24And 8put your 9gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks,25Then 10the Almighty will be your 11gold And abundant silver to you.26For then you will 12take pleasure in 13the Almighty And lift up your face to God.27You will 14pray to Him, and 15He will hear you; And you will pay your vows.28You will also decide something, and it will be established for you; And 16light will shine on your ways.29When 17they have brought you low, you will speak with 18confidence, And He will save the 19 20humble person.30He will rescue one who is not innocent, And he will be 21rescued due to the cleanness of your hands.”
