Job 22:3

Context

22:3 Is it of any special benefit 1  to the Almighty

that you should be righteous,

or is it any gain to him

that you make your ways blameless? 2 

1 tn The word חֵפֶץ (khefets) in this passage has the nuance of “special benefit; favor.” It does not just express the desire for something or the interest in it, but the profit one derives from it.

2 tn The verb תַתֵּם (tattem) is the Hiphil imperfect of תָּמַם (tamam, “be complete, finished”), following the Aramaic form of the geminate verb with a doubling of the first letter.
