Job 22:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 22:22

20 ‘Surely our¹ adversaries are cut down,
And the fire consumes their remnant.’

21 “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and ^abe at peace;
Thereby good will come to you.

22 Receive, please, ^ainstruction from His mouth,
And ^blay up His words in your heart.

23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
You will remove iniquity far from your tents.

24 Then you will ^alay your gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.

25 Yes, the Almighty will be your¹ gold
And your precious silver;

26 For then you will have your ^adelight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.

27 ^aYou will make your prayer to Him,
He will hear you,
And you will pay your vows.

28 You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways.

29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’
Then ^aHe will save the humble person.
