What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

15. (Compare Jer 2:20; Pr 30:9, Margin, Ex 5:2).

what profit-(Job 35:3; Mal 3:14; Ps 73:13). Sinners ask, not what is right, but what is for the profit of self. They forget, "If religion cost self something, the want of it will cost self infinitely more."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

21:7-16 Job says, Remarkable judgments are sometimes brought upon notorious sinners, but not always. Wherefore is it so? This is the day of God's patience; and, in some way or other, he makes use of the prosperity of the wicked to serve his own counsels, while it ripens them for ruin; but the chief reason is, because he will make it appear there is another world. These prospering sinners make light of God and religion, as if because they have so much of this world, they had no need to look after another. But religion is not a vain thing. If it be so to us, we may thank ourselves for resting on the outside of it. Job shows their folly.


Job 22:17 "They said to God, 'Depart from us!' And 'What can the Almighty do to them?'
Job 34:9 "For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing When he is pleased with God.' (NASB ©1995)
