Job 22:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² “Can a vigorous ^(A)man be of use to God,
Or a wise man be useful to himself?
³ “Is there any pleasure to ^[a]the Almighty if you are righteous,
Or profit if you make your ways perfect?
⁴ “Is it because of your ^[b]reverence that He reproves you,
That He ^(B)enters into judgment against you?
