Job 35:3

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

For thou wilt say, What shall it profit to thee? what shall I profit from my sin?

See the chapter Copy

For he said, It will not profit a man in delighting himself with God.

Ye said, Vanity to serve God: and what profit that we watched his watches, and that we went mourning from the face of Jehovah of armies?

Surely in vain I cleansed my heart, and I will wash my hands in cleanness.

And what the portion of God from above? and the inheritance of the Almighty from the heights?

What the Almighty that we shall serve him? and what shall we be profited if we shall supplicate to him?

If I did evil, wo to me; and was I just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with dishonor: and see thou mine affliction;

I sinned; what shall I do to thee, guarding men? wherefore didst thou set me for an assault to thee, and I shall be upon myself for a burden?

I will turn back words to thee, and thy companions with thee.
