Context of Job 22:4
2“Can a man be useful to God? Can even a wise man benefit Him? 3What pleasure is it to Shaddai if you are righteous? Or what gain if your ways are blameless? Is it because of your reverence that He corrects you and He brings judgment against you? 5Is not your wickedness great, and is there no end to your iniquity? 6For you took pledges from your brothers for no reason; you stripped the naked of their clothing.
