Job 35:8

Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art]; and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.

Thy wickedness {H7562} may hurt a man {H376} as thou art; and thy righteousness {H6666} may profit the son {H1121} of man {H120}.

Your wickedness can affect only others like you, and your righteousness only other human beings.

Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man.

Thy wickednessmay hurta man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man.
