Job 22:19-28 Amplified Bible (AMP)

19. The righteous see it and are glad; and the innocent laugh them to scorn [saying],

20. Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, and that which remained to them the fire has consumed.

21. Acquaint now yourself with Him [agree with God and show yourself to be conformed to His will] and be at peace; by that [you shall prosper and great] good shall come to you.

22. Receive, I pray you, the law and instruction from His mouth and lay up His words in your heart. [Ps. 119:11.]

23. If you return to the Almighty [and submit and humble yourself before Him], you will be built up; if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents,

24. If you lay gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brook [considering them of little worth],

25. And make the Almighty your gold and [the Lord] your precious silver treasure,

26. Then you will have delight in the Almighty, and you will lift up your face to God.

27. You will make your prayer to Him, and He will hear you, and you will pay your vows.

28. You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] shall shine upon your ways.
