Job 22:2-4

American Standard Version

² Can a man be profitable unto God?
Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.
³ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?
Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
⁴ Is it ^[a]for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee,
That he entereth with thee into judgment?
