"Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man."
— Job 35:8, World English Bible
“Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.”
“Thy wickednessmay hurta man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man. ”
“Your wickedness affects only a person like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.”
“Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.”
“Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.”
“Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.”
Look to the heavens, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
"By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
