Job 22:21-30
Lexham English Bible
21 “Please reconcile yourself with him,
and be at peace; in this way,[a] good will come to you.
22 Please receive instruction from his mouth,
and place his words in your heart.
23 If you return to Shaddai, you will be restored;
if you remove wickedness from your tent,
24 and if you put gold ore in the dust,
and the gold of Ophir in the rock of wadis,
25 then[b] Shaddai will be your gold ore
and your precious silver.[c]
26 Indeed, then you will delight yourself in Shaddai,
and you will expect that God will be good to you.[d]
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will pay your vows.
28 And you will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.
29 When they are humiliated, you say,[e] ‘It is pride,’
for[f] he saves the humble.[g]
30 He will deliver the guilty,
and he will escape because of the cleanness of your hands.”
