Context of Job 22:4
2“Can a vigorous man be of use to God, Or a wise man be useful to himself? 3Is there any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous, Or profit if you make your ways perfect? Is it because of your reverence that He reproves you, That He enters into judgment against you? 5Is not your wickedness great, And your iniquities without end? 6For you have taken pledges of your brothers without cause, And stripped men naked.
