Job 22:21

Verse 21 of 30. The 22nd of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

17who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’

18Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

19The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,

20saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’

21“Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.

22Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.

23If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.

24Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.

25The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
