Job 34:9

For he has said, “A man gains nothing
when he becomes God’s friend.”

For you ask, “What does it profit You,
and what benefit comes to me, if I do not sin?”

It is all the same. Therefore I say,
“He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.”

If I wash myself with snow,
and cleanse my hands with lye,

Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you your heart’s desires.

You have said: “It is useless to serve God. What have we gained by keeping His requirements and walking mournfully before the Lord of Hosts?

Yet they say to God: “Leave us alone!
We don’t want to know Your ways.

Indeed, the evil man is spared from the day of disaster,
rescued from the day of wrath.

They were the ones who said to God, “Leave us alone!”
and “What can the Almighty do to us?”

Will he delight in the Almighty?
Will he call on God at all times?
