"But you say,‘What will it profit you,’ and,‘What do I gain by not sinning?’"
— Job 35:3, NET Bible
“For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?”
“That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? ”
“That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'”
“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?”
Elihu’s Third Speech Then Elihu answered:
“Do you think this to be just: when you say,‘My right before God.’
But you say,‘What will it profit you,’ and,‘What do I gain by not sinning?’
I will reply to you, and to your friends with you.
Gaze at the heavens and see; consider the clouds, which are higher than you!
If you sin, how does it affect God? If your transgressions are many, what does it do to him?
