He has even said,‘ Why waste time trying 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。』

他說：『人以神為樂，總是無益。』

因為他說，『人取悅上帝毫無益處。』

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.’

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.’

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.’

For you also ask,‘ What’s in it for me? What’s the use of living a righteous life?’

Innocent or wicked, it is all the same to God. That’s why I say,‘ He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’When a plague sweeps through, he laughs at the death of the innocent.

“ You have said,‘ What’s the use of serving God? What have we gained by obeying his commands or by trying to show the Lord of Heaven’s Armies that we are sorry for our sins?

Even if I were to wash myself with soap and clean my hands with lye,you would plunge me into a muddy ditch, and my own filthy clothing would hate me.

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.

And yet they say to God,‘ Go away. We want no part of you and your ways.Who is the Almighty, and why should we obey him? What good will it do us to pray?’( They think their prosperity is of their own doing, but I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.)

Evil people are spared in times of calamity and are allowed to escape disaster.

Can they take delight in the Almighty? Can they call to God at any time?

For they said to God,‘ Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’
