21 “Submit to God and be at peace with him;

in this way prosperity will come to you.

22 Accept instruction from his mouth

and lay up his words in your heart.

23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored:

If you remove wickedness far from your tent

24 and assign your nuggets to the dust,

your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,

25 then the Almighty will be your gold,

the choicest silver for you.

26 Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty

and will lift up your face to God.

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

and you will fulfill your vows.

28 What you decide on will be done,

and light will shine on your ways.

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

then he will save the downcast.

21 “Agree with God, and be at peace;

thereby good will come to you.

22 Receive instruction from his mouth,

and lay up his words in your heart.

23 If you return to the Almighty you will be built up;

if you remove injustice far from your tents,

24 if you lay gold in the dust,

and gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,

25 then the Almighty will be your gold

and your precious silver.

26 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty

and 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 will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,

and light will shine on your ways.

29 For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;

but he saves the lowly.

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.

29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up;

And he shall save the humble person.

21 “Submit to God, and you will have peace;

then things will go well for you.

22 Listen to his instructions,

and store them in your heart.

23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored—

so clean up your life.

24 If you give up your lust for money

and throw your precious gold into the river,

25 the Almighty himself will be your treasure.

He will be your precious silver!

26 “Then you will take delight in the Almighty

and look up to God.

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

and you will fulfill your vows to him.

28 You will succeed in whatever you choose to do,

and light will shine on the road ahead of you.

29 If people are in trouble and you say, ‘Help them,’

God will save them.

21 “Obey God and be at peace with him;

this is the way to happiness.

22 Accept teaching from his mouth,

and keep his words in your heart.

23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be blessed again.

So remove evil from your house.

24 Throw your gold nuggets into the dust

and your fine gold among the rocks in the ravines.

25 Then the Almighty will be your gold

and the best silver for you.

26 You will find pleasure in the Almighty,

and you will look up to him.

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

and you will keep your promises to him.

28 Anything you decide will be done,

and light will shine on your ways.

29 When people are made humble and you say, ‘Have courage,’

then the humble will be saved.

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 thy heart.

23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,

If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.

24 And lay thou thy treasure in the dust,

And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;

25 And the Almighty will be thy treasure,

And precious silver unto thee.

26 For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty,

And shalt lift up thy face unto God.

27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee;

And thou shalt pay thy vows.

28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee;

And light shall shine upon thy ways.

29 When they cast thee down, thou shalt say, There is lifting up;

And the humble person he will save.

21 Reconcile thyself now with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22 Receive, I pray thee, instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart. 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up. If thou remove unrighteousness far from thy tents, 24 And put the precious ore with the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrents, 25 Then the Almighty will be thy precious ore, and silver heaped up unto thee; 26 Yea, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto †God: 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows; 28 And thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and light shall shine upon thy ways. 29 When they are made low, then thou shalt say, Rise up! and he shall save him that is of downcast eyes.

21 “Be in harmony and at peace with God. 

In this way you will have prosperity. 

22 Accept instruction from his mouth, 

and keep his words in your heart. 

23 If you return to the Almighty, you will prosper. 

If you put wrongdoing out of your tent, 

24 and lay your gold down in the dust, 

and put your gold from Ophir among the pebbles in the rivers, 

25 then the Almighty will become your gold 

and your large supply of silver. 

26 Then you will be happy with the Almighty 

and look up toward God.

24 and consign your gold to the dust,

the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,

25 the Almighty will be your gold

and your finest silver.

26 Then you will delight in the Almighty

and lift up your face to God.

23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored,

if you remove unrighteousness from your tents,

24 if you treat gold like dust,

and gold of Ophir like the stones of the torrent-bed,

25 and if the Almighty is your gold

and your precious silver,

26 then you will delight yourself in the Almighty,

and lift up your face to God.

and be at peace; in this way, good will come to you.

22 Please receive instruction from his mouth,

and place his words in your heart.

23 If you return to Shaddai, you will be restored;

if you remove wickedness from your tent,

24 and if you put gold ore in the dust,

and the gold of Ophir in the rock of wadis,

25 then Shaddai will be your gold ore

and your precious silver.

26 Indeed, then you will delight yourself in Shaddai,

and you will expect that God will be good to you.

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

and you will pay your vows.

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.

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.
