Job 22:23

21 Reconcile now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you.

22 Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.

If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored. If you remove injustice from your tents

24 and consign your gold to the dust and the gold of Ophir to the stones of the ravines,

25 then the Almighty will be your gold and the finest silver for you.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
