19. The righteous see their ruin and rejoice;the innocent mock them, saying,
20. “Surely our foes are destroyed,and fire devours their wealth.”
21. ‘Submit to God and be at peace with him;in this way prosperity will come to you.
22. Accept instruction from his mouthand lay up his words in your heart.
23. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored:if you remove wickedness far from your tent
24. and assign your nuggets to the dust,your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,
25. then the Almighty will be your gold,the choicest silver for you.
26. Surely then you will find delight in the Almightyand will lift up your face to God.
