Job22:3
3. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect ?
i. e. Such a pleasure as he needs for his own ease and contentment, without which he could not be happy, as appears by the foregoing and following words: For otherwise God is oft said to delight in the good actions of his People, to wit, so far as to approve and accept them.
That thy Life is free from blemish, as thou pretendest, but falsly, as I shall shew.
