# If you are righteous, what can you give to him? What will he receive from your hand?
|
|
|

The two rhetorical questions mean basically the same thing, that Job's righteousness adds nothing to God. Alternate translation: "If you are righteous, that does not enable you to give anything to him, and there is nothing that he will receive from your hand." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

Here the word "hand" represents Job. Alternate translation: "receive from you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
