2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? KJRV — Job 22:2
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? KJRV — Job 22:3

6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. KJRV — Job 22:6

12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! KJRV — Job 22:12
13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? KJRV — Job 22:13
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. KJRV — Job 22:14
15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? KJRV — Job 22:15
16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: (Genesis 7:4) KJRV — Job 22:16
17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them? KJRV — Job 22:17
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. KJRV — Job 22:18
19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn. KJRV — Job 22:19
