For he says,‘ It does not profit a man when he makes his delight 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。』

他說：『人以神為樂，總是無益。』

因為他說，『人取悅上帝毫無益處。』

因為他說過：‘人討神的喜悅，對他並無益處。’

因為他說：「人樂於同上帝來往總是無益。」

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 is of no use to a man When he becomes friends with God.’

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 he has said,‘ It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’

But you say,‘ What will it profit you,’ and,‘ What do I gain by not sinning?’

“ It is all one! That is why I say,‘ He destroys the blameless and the guilty.’If a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks at the despair of the innocent.

You have said,‘ It is useless to serve God. How have we been helped by keeping his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD who rules over all?

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands clean with lye,then you plunge me into a slimy pit and my own clothes abhor me.

Then you will take delight in the LORD, and he will answer your prayers.

So they say to God,‘ Turn away from us! We do not want to know your ways.Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain if we were to pray to him?’But their prosperity is not their own doing. The counsel of the wicked is far from me!

that the evil man is spared from the day of his misfortune, that he is delivered from the day of God’s wrath?

Will he find delight in the Almighty? Will he call out to God at all times?

They were saying to God,‘ Turn away from us,’ and‘ What can the Almighty do to us?’
