For he has said,‘ It is of no use to a man When he becomes friends with God.’

他说：‘人以神为乐，总是无益。’

他说：‘人以上帝为乐，总是无益。’

他说：‘人以神为乐，总是无益。’

因为他说，‘人取悦上帝毫无益处。’

因为他说过：‘人讨神的喜悦，对他并无益处。’

他說：人以神為樂，總是無益。

他說：『人以上帝為樂，總是無益。』

彼雲、人樂上帝、無所裨益、

彼曰、崇事上帝、亦何所裨。

約百云、天主悅納人、與人無益、或作人順從天主亦何所益

For he says,‘ There is no profit in trying to please God.’

He asks,‘ What good is it to try to please God?’

For he has said,‘ It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.’

He has even said,‘ Why waste time trying to please God?’

For he has said,“ A man gains nothing when he becomes God’s friend.”

For he has said,‘ It profits a man nothing That he should delight in God.’

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.

For he has said,“ A man gains nothing when he becomes God’s friend.”

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

For you say,‘ What advantage will it be to You? What benefit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

It is all one; therefore I say,‘ He destroys the guiltless and the wicked.’If the whip kills suddenly, He mocks the despair of the innocent.

You have said,‘ It is pointless to serve God; and what benefit is it for us that we have done what He required, and that we have walked in mourning before the Lord of armies?

If I washed myself with snow, And cleansed my hands with lye,Then You would plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes would loathe me.

Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.

Yet they say to God,‘ Go away from us! We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways.Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, And what would we gain if we plead with Him?’Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand; The advice of the wicked is far from me.

For the wicked person is spared a day of disaster; They are led away from a day of fury.

Or will he take pleasure in the Almighty? Will he call on God at all times?

They said to God,‘ Go away from us!’ And‘ What can the Almighty do to them?’
