King James Version with Apocrypha
"Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?"
— Job 22:3, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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 thou art righteous? Or is it gainto 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?”
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
