Job 22:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he that is wise is profitable to himself.^(A)

³ Is it any pleasure or advantage to the Almighty that you are righteous (upright and in right standing with Him)? Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways perfect?^(B)

⁴ Is it for your [reverential] fear of Him that He [thus] reproves you, that He enters with you into judgment?
