15“Will you keep to the ancient path

Which wicked people have walked,

16Who were snatched away before their time,

Whose foundations were washed away by a river?

17“They said to God, ‘Go away from us!’

And ‘What can the Almighty do to them?’

18“Yet He filled their houses with good things;

But the advice of the wicked is far from me.

19“The 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.

22“Please receive instruction from His mouth,

And put His words in your heart.

23“If 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,

25Then the Almighty will be your gold

And abundant silver to you.

26“For then you will take pleasure in the Almighty

And lift up your face to God.

27“You will pray to Him, and He will hear you;

And you will pay your vows.

28“You will also decide something, and it will be established for you;

And light will shine on your ways.

29“When they have brought you low, you will speak with confidence,

And He will save the humble person.

30“He will rescue one who is not innocent,

And he will be rescued due to the cleanness of your hands.”
