Job 22:23 — Meaning and Application

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. {him: that is, God}

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the {gold} of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. {as dust: or, on the dust}

Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. {defence: or, gold} {plenty...: Heb. silver of strength}
