Context of Job 22:4
2Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself? 3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment? 5Is not thy wickedness great? and thy iniquities without end? 6For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother without cause, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
