Job 22:19-29 Good News Bible (GNB)

19. Good people are glad and the innocent laughwhen they see the wicked punished.

20. All that the wicked own is destroyed,and fire burns up anything that is left.

21. Now, Job, make peace with Godand stop treating him like an enemy;if you do, then he will bless you.

22. Accept the teaching he gives;keep his words in your heart.

23. Yes, you must humbly return to Godand put an end to all the evilthat is done in your house.

24. Throw away your gold;dump your finest gold in the dry stream bed.

25. Let Almighty God be your gold,and let him be silver, piled high for you.

26. Then you will always trust in Godand find that he is the source of your joy.

27. When you pray, he will answer you,and you will keep the vows you made.

28. You will succeed in all you do,and light will shine on your path.

29. God brings down the proudand saves the humble.
