Job 22:3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous? That is, any such pleasure as he needs in order to his happiness? Heath renders it, any advantage. God, we know, approves of and accepts the good actions of his people, and is often said in Scripture to delight in them; but certainly cannot be advantaged by them. He needs not us or our services. We are undone, for ever undone, without him: but he is happy, for ever happy, without us.
