Job 22:28

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.

Your decisions will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.

29 When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then He will save the lowly.

30 He will deliver even one who is not innocent, rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.”

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