Context of Job 22:5
3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous, Or gain if you make your ways blameless? 4Is it because of your reverence that He punishes you, That He enters into judgment against you? Is 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. 7You have given the weary no water to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
