New Testament

Job 22:18-30 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

18. But it was He who filled their houses with good things.The counsel of the wicked is far from me!

19. The righteous see this and rejoice;the innocent mock them, saying,

20. “Surely our opponents are destroyed,and fire has consumed what they left behind.”

21. Come to terms with God and be at peace; in this way good will come to you.

22. Receive instruction from His mouth, and place His sayings in your heart.

23. If you return to the Almighty, you will be renewed.If you banish injustice from your tent

24. and consign your gold to the dust,the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,

25. the Almighty will be your goldand your finest silver.

26. Then you will delight in the Almightyand lift up your face to God.

27. You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.

28. When you make a decision, it will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.

29. When others are humiliated and you say, “Lift them up,”God will save the humble.

30. He will even rescue the guilty one,who will be rescued by the purity of your hands.
