Job 22:20-30 English Standard Version (ESV)

20. saying, ‘Surely our adversaries are cut off,and what they left the fire has consumed.’

21. “Agree with God, and be at peace;thereby good will come to you.

22. Receive instruction from his mouth,and lay up his words in your heart.

23. If you return to the Almighty you will be built up;if you remove injustice far from your tents,

24. if you lay gold in the dust,and gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,

25. then the Almighty will be your goldand your precious silver.

26. For then you will delight yourself in the Almightyand lift up your face to God.

27. You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you,and you will pay your vows.

28. You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,and light will shine on your ways.

29. For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;but he saves the lowly.

30. He delivers even the one who is not innocent,who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
