Job 35:3

Tree of Life Version

For you ask, ‘What will it profit you?’ and ‘What do I gain by not sinning?’

See the chapter Copy

For he says, ‘It does not profit a man when he makes his delight with God.’

You say: “Serving God is worthless.” Also: “What good is it that we kept His service or that we walked as mourners before Adonai-Tzva’ot?

Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure, and washed my hands in innocence.

For what is one’s lot from God above, one’s heritage from Shaddai on high?

Who is Shaddai that we should serve Him? What would we gain if we pray to Him?’

If I am guilty, woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and conscious of my affliction.

Have I sinned— what have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target? Have I become a burden to You?

I will answer you, and your friends with you.
