CAn a man be profitable unto God] Chap. 35. 7, 8. Psalms 16:2. Luke 17. 10. Though man were just, yet God could have no profit thereby. Why then doest thou talk so much of thy righteousnesse?
as he that is wife may be profitable unto himself?] Or, if he may be profitable, doth his good successe depend theren: Or, but he that is wise, may be profitable to himself? Proverbs 9:12.
