"Can man be compared with God, even if he were perfect in knowledge? "
— Job 22:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?”
“ Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself. ”
“"Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.”
““Is it to God that a strong man is of benefit? Is it to him that even a wise man is profitable?”
“Can man be compared with God, even though he were of perfect knowledge?”
“Is it possible for a man to be of profit to God? No, for a man's wisdom is only of profit to himself.”
“Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?”
Then Eliphaz the Themanite responded by saying:
Can man be compared with God, even if he were perfect in knowledge?
What advantage is it to God, if you were just? Or what do you provide for him, if your way should be immaculate?
Will he reprove you and take you to judgment for being afraid,
and not because of your many evil deeds and your infinite unfairness?
