Job 35:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

I am blameless; I regard not myself; I loathe my life.

If I am guilty, woe to me! If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look on my affliction.

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him?'

What would be my portion from God above and my heritage from the Almighty on high?

For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.'

All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence.

You have said, 'It is vain to serve God. What is the profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the LORD of hosts?

I also will answer with my share; I also will declare my opinion.
