Job 22:1-5
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 22

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,
2'Can a strong man be of use to God, Or a wise one be useful to himself? 3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous, Or gain if you make your ways blameless? 4Is it because of your reverence that He punishes you, That He enters into judgment against you? 5Is your wickedness not abundant, And is there no end to your guilty deeds?
King James Version

Chapter 22

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, 2Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
4Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
5Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 22

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2Can a man be of any use to God? Can even a wise man be of use to him?
3Does it delight the Almighty if you are righteous? Does he profit if you perfect your behavior? 4Does he correct you and take you to court because of your piety? 5Isn’t your wickedness abundant and aren’t your iniquities endless?
New Living Translation

Chapter 22

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2'Can a person do anything to help God? Can even a wise person be helpful to him? 3Is it any advantage to the Almighty if you are righteous? Would it be any gain to him if you were perfect? 4Is it because you’re so pious that he accuses you and brings judgment against you? 5No, it’s because of your wickedness! There’s no limit to your sins.
English Standard Version

Chapter 22

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2 "Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself. 3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are in the right, or is it gain to him if you make your ways blameless? 4Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you and enters into judgment with you? 5Is not your evil abundant? There is no end to your iniquities.
New International Version

Chapter 22

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2"Can a man be of benefit to God? Can even a wise person benefit him?
3What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous? What would he gain if your ways were blameless? 4"Is it for your piety that he rebukes you and brings charges against you? 5Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless?
New King James Version

Chapter 22

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2“Can a man be profitable to God, Though he who is wise may be profitable to himself? 3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless? 4“Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you, And enters into judgment with you? 5 Is not your wickedness great, And your iniquity without end?
