Job 22:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² “Can a man be profitable to God?
    Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
³ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous,
    or is it gain to him if you make your ways blameless?
⁴ Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you,
    and enters into judgment with you?
