² Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

² O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

¹² If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

¹⁰ So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
