Job

Job 22:23–29

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.

²⁶Surely then you will delight in the Almighty

and lift up your face to God.

²⁷You will pray to Him, and He will hear you,

and you will fulfill your vows.

²⁸Your decisions will be carried out,

and light will shine on your ways.

²⁹When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’

then He will save the lowly.
