17. Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?
18. Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19. The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,
20. Saying, Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.
21. Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.
22. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thy heart.
23. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.
24. And lay thou thy treasure in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;
25. And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee.
26. For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.
28. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.
