New International Version (© 2011)
"Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.

King James Bible
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

American Standard Version
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.

Young's Literal Translation
Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase is good.

Job 22:21 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Acquaint now thyself with him - Perhaps the verb הסכן hasken should be translated here, treasure up, or lay up. Lay up or procure an interest now with him, and be at peace. Get the Divine favor, and then thou wilt be at peace with God, and have happiness in thy own soul.

Thereby good shalt come unto thee - בהם bahem, "in them," shall good come unto thee. That is, in getting an interest in the Divine favor, and in having thy soul brought into a state of peace with him; thereby, in them, that is, these two things, good will come unto thee. First, thou wilt have an interest in his favor, from which thou mayest expect all blessings; and, secondly, from his peace in thy conscience thou wilt feel unutterable happiness. Get these blessings now, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Reader, hast thou these blessings?
