Context of Job 22:28
26Surely then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face toward God. 27You will pray to him and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him. Whatever you decide on a matter, it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways. 29When people are brought low and you say ‘Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast; 30he will deliver even someone who is not innocent, who will escape through the cleanness of your hands.”
