Job 22:27
Compare all
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. 
30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent;
Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”

<< Job 22:26   Job 22:28 >>


Job 22:27

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him - God would then hear him, for he would be righteous. This was one of the blessings which would follow reconciliation. It is, in fact, one of the blessings of a return to God. He hears the cry of his people, and answers their supplications. To be permitted to go to God and to tell him all our needs, to plead for all we need and to implore blessings on our families and friends, is a privilege of far higher value than anything which wealth can bestow; is worth more than all the honors of this world.

And thou shalt pay thy vows - That is, thy vows shall be accepted; thou shalt obtain those blessings for which thou didst make thy vows.
