“Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?”
"Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself." Eliphaz questions whether God benefits from human piety. He asserts instead that wisdom benefits the individual alone. The verse suggests that if Job has not profited from righteousness, it is because righteousness offers no benefit—only self-interest matters.
