"Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gainto him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? "
— Job 22:3, American Standard Version
“Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?”
“Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him, that you make your ways perfect?”
“Is it of any special benefit to the Almighty that you should be righteous, or is it any gain to him that you make your ways blameless?”
“What doth it profit God if thou be just? or what dost thou give him if thy way be unspotted?”
“Is it of any interest to the Ruler of all that you are upright? or is it of use to him that your ways are without sin?”
“Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?”
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gainto him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?
Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.
For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.
