Context of Job 22:22
20Though our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. 21Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: by this good shall come to thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart. 23If thou shalt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tents. 24Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
