Job 22:4
Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?
BSB
ASV
Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?
KJV
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
Is the punishment inflicted on thee from fear of thee, in order to disarm thee? as Job had implied (see on Job 7:12; Job 7:20; and Job 10:17). will he enter . . . into judgment?--Job had desired this (Job 13:3, 21).

Psalms 143:2Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
leads to
Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
