21 “Job, obey God and be at peace with him.

Then he will help you succeed.

22 Do what he teaches you to do.

Keep his words in your heart.

23 If you return to the Mighty One,

you will have what you had before.

But first you must remove

everything that is evil far from your tent.

24 You must throw your gold nuggets away.

You must toss your gold from Ophir into a valley.

25 Then the Mighty One himself will be your gold.

He’ll be like the finest silver to you.

26 You will find delight in the Mighty One.

You will honor God and trust in him.

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

You will keep the promises you made to him.

28 What you decide to do will be done.

Light will shine on the path you take.

29 When people are brought low you will say, ‘Lift them up!’

Then God will help them.

30 He’ll even save those who are guilty.

He’ll save them because your hands are clean.”
