Job
Job 22:21–25
21Reconcile now and be at peace with Him;
thereby good will come to you.
22Receive instruction from His mouth,
and lay up His words in your heart.
23If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored.
If you remove injustice from your tents
24and consign your gold to the dust
and the gold of Ophir to the stones of the ravines,
25then the Almighty will be your gold
and the finest silver for you.
