Job 22:26
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.
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.
28 Your decisions will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.
