Context of Job 22:28
26Surely then Shaddai will be your delight and you will lift up your face to God. 27You will pray to Him and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows. What you decide will be done, 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 one who is not innocent, who will be delivered by the cleanness of your hands.”
