“Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?”
"Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous? Or is it gain to him if you make your ways perfect?" Eliphaz continues: God takes no pleasure in human righteousness, no advantage from perfection. The verse implies that if Job is suffering despite righteousness, perhaps righteousness itself is not truly relevant to divine-human relations.
