'Profit' in the Bible

“The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’And those who handle the law did not know Me;The rulers also transgressed against Me,And the prophets prophesied by BaalAnd walked after things that did not profit.

“Has a nation changed godsWhen they were not gods?But My people have changed their gloryFor that which does not profit.

“They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns,They have strained themselves to no profit.But be ashamed of your harvestBecause of the fierce anger of the Lord.”

O Lord, my strength and my stronghold,And my refuge in the day of distress,To You the nations will comeFrom the ends of the earth and say,“Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood,Futility and things of no profit.”
