Context of Job 22:4
2“Can a strong man be of use to God, Or a wise one be useful to himself? 3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous, Or gain if you make your ways blameless? Is it because of your reverence that He punishes you, That He enters into judgment against you? 5Is your wickedness not abundant, And is there no end to your guilty deeds? 6For you have seized pledges from your brothers without cause, And stripped people naked.
