'Surely their substance is cut off, and their abundance the fire hath consumed.'
21
Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace; thereby shall thine increase be good.
22
Receive, I pray thee, instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in thy heart.
23
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up--if thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents,
24
And lay thy treasure in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;
25
And the Almighty be thy treasure, and precious silver unto thee;
26
Then surely shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto G-d.
27
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, and He will hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows;
28
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee, and light shall shine upon thy ways.
29
When they cast thee down, thou shalt say: 'There is lifting up'; for the humble person He saveth.
30
He delivereth him that is innocent, yea, thou shalt be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
