Job 22:26-29 (KJ21)
The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise the LORD that seek Him. Your heart shall live for ever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the kingdom is the LORD’S, and He is the governor among the nations.

Job 22:26-29 (NAS)
The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever! All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before Thee. For the kingdom is the LORD’S, And He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

Job 22:26-29 (NIVUS)
The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the LORD will praise him— may your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations. All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him— those who cannot keep themselves alive.

Job 22:26-29 (NLT)
The poor will eat and be satisfied. All who seek the LORD will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy. The whole earth will acknowledge the LORD and return to him. People from every nation will bow down before him. For the LORD is king! He rules all the nations. Let the rich of the earth feast and worship. Let all mortals—those born to die—bow down in his presence.

El Shaddai, who is the Most High and the Most Powerful, is your exquisite delight. He is the One who makes you happy. You are pampered in His presence and He makes you merry. All that you can do is lift up your face in adoration, to look upon His glory.

You know that when you pray to Him, entreating and pleading for His favor. He listens to and understands your supplications. Then He grants your requests, for you have yielded yourself to His will and are in agreement with His word. He is pleased with you since you are quick to proclaim and sound aloud His greatness and His goodness to you. He has multiplied you and made you abundant. And you have vowed and entered into a covenant of peace with Jehovah Shalom, the Prince of Peace.

Now you have the right and the privilege to decree what He has told you. The promises that He has spoken to you are established and confirmed by your very own mouth. Like Him, you can command them to stand and they shall be set and fixed. Your words validate His words!

Then God shall shine His face upon you, illuminating your path. In His light you will march forth and shall not stumble along the way, for His word is a lamp unto your feet. Though the enemy tries to bring you low and to humiliate you, you shall declare that God will lift you up, exalting you in triumph. He shall save and deliver you, setting you free. You will no longer be bowed down in defeat. You will not be reduced or weakened, but God's word over you will bring you increase and strength. Then you will exult in the Lord your God, praising and worshiping Yeshua the Messiah.
