1 Then El´iphaz the Te´manite answered and said,
2 Can a man be profitable unto God,as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee?Will he enter with thee into judgment?
5 Is not thy wickedness great?and thine iniquities infinite?
6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought,and stripped the naked of their clothing.
