Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?

You have said, It is no use worshipping God: what profit have we had from keeping his orders, and going in clothing of sorrow before the Lord of armies?

Σεις ειπετε, Ματαιον ειναι να δουλευη τις τον Θεον· και, Τις η ωφελεια οτι εφυλαξαμεν τα διαταγματα αυτου και οτι περιεπατησαμεν πενθουντες ενωπιον του Κυριου των δυναμεων;

Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
