King James Version (KJV)

Job 22:3

“[Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or [is it] gain [to him], that thou makest thy ways perfect?”

Verse in context — Job 22

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

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?

[Is] not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
