Context of Job 22:28
26For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God. 27You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, And you will pay your vows. You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways. 29When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’ Then He will save the humble person. 30He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”
