He asks,‘ What good is it to try to please 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。』

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。’

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.’

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 says,‘ It does not profit a man when he makes his delight with God.’

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

You ask him,‘ What good is it for me not to sin? What do I get by not sinning?’

It all amounts to the same thing. That’s why I say,‘ God destroys honest people and sinful people alike.’Suppose a plague brings sudden death. Then he laughs when those who haven’t sinned lose hope.

“ You have said,‘ It is useless to serve God. What do we gain by obeying his laws? And what do we get by pretending to be sad in front of the Lord?

Suppose I clean myself with soap. Suppose I wash my hands with cleanser.Even then you would throw me into a muddy pit. And even my clothes would hate me.

Find your delight in the Lord. Then he will give you everything your heart really wants.

But they say to God,‘ Leave us alone! We don’t want to know how you want us to live.Who is the Mighty One? Why should we serve him? What would we get if we prayed to him?’But they aren’t in control of their own success. So I don’t pay any attention to their plans.

They’ll tell you that sinful people are spared from the day of trouble. They’ll say that those people are saved from the day when God will judge.

They won’t take delight in the Mighty One. They’ll never call out to God.

They said to God,‘ Leave us alone! What can you do to us, you Mighty One?’
