Context of Job 22:4
2Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself. 3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gainto him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment? 5Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities. 6For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.
