Job 22:3


Job 22:2 Job 22:3 (KJV) Job 22:4
Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
[Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or [is it] gain [to him], that thou makest thy ways perfect?
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
