Job 22:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ If you are a righteous person,
    it does nothing to help Almighty God.
If you live a completely good life,
    it still does not help him.
⁴ It is not because you respect and obey God
    that he punishes you.
It is not because you are a good person
    that he accuses you.
⁵ No! It is because you are a very wicked person.
You have done too many evil things for anyone to count them.
    That is why he is punishing you.
