Even the strength of their hands, what could it profit me? Men in whom ripe age has perished, describing the worthlessness of the present generation that mocks Job, suggesting they are diminished by age and loss of vigor. The rhetorical question about the profit of their strength suggests that even were they strong, they would be useless. The reference to men in whom ripe age has perished suggests they are past their prime, their usefulness expired. The verse emphasizes that the people now mocking Job are of minimal worth or capability.
