Job 22:15-30

15Will you keep to the old path that the wicked have trod?

16They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood.

17They said to God, ‘Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’

18Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.

19The 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.

22Accept 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 wickedness far from your tent

24and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,

25then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you.

26Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God.

27You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.

28What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways.

29When people are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast. 30He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
