Job

Job 35:6–8

⁶If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him?

If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?

⁷If you are righteous, what do you give Him,

or what does He receive from your hand?

⁸Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself,

and your righteousness only a son of man.
