¹ Elihu proceeding in his aunswere, sayde: ² Heare my wordes O ye wise men, hearken vnto me ye that haue vnderstanding: ³ For the eare discerneth wordes, and the mouth tasteth the meates. ⁴ As for iudgement, let vs seke it out among our selues, that we may knowe what is good. ⁵ [And why?] Iob hath sayd, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement. ⁶ In my right I shoulde be a lyer: my wounde is incurable without my fault. ⁷ Where is there such a one as Iob, that drinketh vp scornefulnesse like water? ⁸ Which goeth in the companie of wicked doers, and walketh with vngodly men? ⁹ For he hath sayde, It profiteth a man nothing that he shoulde walke with God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For he hath said,.... Not plainly and expressly, but consequentially; what it was thought might be inferred from what he had said, particularly in Job 9:22;

it profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God; in his house and ordinances, ways and worship; he may as well indulge himself in the pleasures of sin, and in the delights of the world, if God destroys the perfect and the wicked, as Job had said in the place referred to; if this be the case, it is in vain to serve God, and pray unto him, or keep his ordinances; which are the language and sentiments of wicked men, and according to which they act, see Job 21:14 Malachi 3:14. Mr. Broughton renders it,

"when he would walk with God;''

and so the Targum,

"in his walking with God;''

and another Targum,

"in his running with God:''

though he walks and even runs in the way of his commandments, yet it is of no advantage to him; or he does the will of God, as Aben Ezra; or seeks to please him or be acceptable to him, and to find grace in his sight. Whereas though love and hatred are not known by prosperity and adversity, but both come to good and bad men, which seems to be Job's meaning in the above place, from whence this inference is deduced; yet it is certain that godliness is profitable to all, 1 Timothy 4:8.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself in God - That is, there is no advantage in piety, and in endeavoring to serve God. It will make no difference in the divine dealings with him. He will be treated just as well if he lives a life of sin, as if he undertakes to live after the severest rules of piety. Job had not used precisely this language, but in Job 9:22, he had expressed nearly the same sentiment. It is probable, however, that Elihu refers to what he regarded as the general scope and tendency of his remarks, as implying that there was no respect paid to character in the divine dealings with mankind. It was easy to pervert the views which Job actually entertained, so as to make him appear to maintain this sentiment, and it was probably with a special view to this charge that Job uttered the sentiments recorded in Job 21:0; see the notes at that chapter.
