Job 22:12-28
-
12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
-
13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
-
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
-
15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
-
16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
-
17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
-
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
-
19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
-
20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
-
21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
-
22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
-
23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
-
24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
-
25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
-
26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
-
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
-
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
