Job 22:25

23 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,

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

26 Surely then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.

27 You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.

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