3 For you said, ‘What advantage will it be to me?What profit will I have if I am cleansed from my sin?’
4 “I will answer you,and your companions with you.
5 Look unto the heavens and see,and behold the clouds that are higher than you.
6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him?Or if your transgressions are multiplied, what does it do to Him?
7 If you are righteous, what does it give Him?Or what does He receive from your hand?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man like you,and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
9 “Because of the many oppressions they cry out;they cry out because of the arm of the mighty.
