"That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? "
— Job 35:3, American Standard Version
“For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?”
“That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'”
“But you say,‘What will it profit you,’ and,‘What do I gain by not sinning?’”
“For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?”
“What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?”
“For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?”
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s,
That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
