Bible verse
For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
Job 34:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 34.
5 For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
6 Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?
8 He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
10 Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
11 For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.
12 Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
13 Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world?
