BRN For what matters it to the Lord, if thou wert blameless in thy works? or is it profitable that thou shouldest perfect thy way?
BrLXX Τί γὰρ μέλει τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐὰν σὺ ἦσθα τοῖς ἔργοις ἄμεμπτος; ἢ ὠφέλεια, ὅτι ἀπλώσῃς τὴν ὁδόν σου;
(Ti gar melei tōi Kuriōi, ean su aʸstha tois ergois amemptos? aʸ ōfeleia, hoti aplōsaʸs taʸn hodon sou? )
22:2-3 Eliphaz did not understand that God would gain pleasure from Job’s righteousness (1:8; 2:3), as he does from every righteous person (1 Chr 29:17; Ps 147:10-11; Prov 11:1, 20; 12:22). God would also gain glory from Job’s steadfast faith, which emphasized the lie behind Satan’s challenge (Job 1:9-12; 2:4-6).
• Job steadfastly claimed that he was perfect (23:10-12), as did God himself (1:1, 8; 2:3).

Job is speaking of how a person lives as if that were a series of ways or paths that the person was walking along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “your manner of life”
