Job 22:16-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
16Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundations were washed away by a river? 17They said to God, ‘Go away from us!’ And ‘What can the Almighty do to them?’ 18Yet He filled their houses with good things; But the advice of the wicked is far from me. 19The righteous see and are glad, And the innocent mock them, saying, 20‘Truly our enemies are eliminated, And fire has consumed their abundance.’ 21'Be reconciled with Him, and be at peace; Thereby good will come to you. 22Please receive instruction from His mouth, And put His words in your heart. 23If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove injustice far from your tent, 24And put your gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks,King James Version

Chapter 22
16They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were washed away by a river. 17They were the ones who said to God, "Leave us alone!" and "What can the Almighty do to us?" 18But it was he who filled their houses with good things. The counsel of the wicked is far from me! 19The righteous see this and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,
20"Surely our opponents are destroyed, and fire has consumed what they left behind."
21Come to terms with God and be at peace; in this way good will come to you.
22Receive instruction from his mouth, and place his sayings in your heart.
23If you return to the Almighty, you will be renewed. If you banish injustice from your tent
24and consign your gold to the dust, the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
16They were snatched away in the prime of life, the foundations of their lives washed away. 17For they said to God, ‘Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’ 18Yet he was the one who filled their homes with good things, so I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.English Standard Version
Chapter 22
16They were snatched away before their time; their foundation was washed away. 17They said to God, ‘Depart from us,’ and ‘What can the Almighty do to us?’ 18Yet he filled their houses with good things — but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 19 The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent one mocks at them, 20saying, ‘Surely our adversaries are cut off, and what they left the fire has consumed.’ 21 "Agree with God, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you. 22Receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart. 23If you return to the Almighty you will be built up; if you remove injustice far from your tents, 24if you lay gold in the dust, and gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,New International Version
Chapter 22
16They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood. 17They said to God, ‘Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’ 18Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked. 19The righteous see their ruin and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,
20‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire devours their wealth.’
21"Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.
22Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.
23If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tent
24and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,
