Job 22:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Can a man be profitable to God?(A)
Can a wise man be profitable to him?
3 Does it please the Almighty that you are just?(B)
Does he gain if your ways are perfect?[a]
4 Is it because of your piety that he reproves you—
that he enters into judgment with you?
Footnotes
- 22:3 Another irony: God will “gain,” because he will have been proved right in his claim to the satan that Job is “perfect.”
