1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 “Can a man be of use to God? Yes, can the wise be of use to him?
3 Is it a pleasure to Shaddai if you are righteous, or a gain if you make your ways blameless?
4 Does he reprove you because of your reverence or enter into judgment with you?
5 Is not your wickedness great, and there is no end to your iniquities?
6 “Indeed, you have required a pledge from your family for nothing, and you have stripped off the clothes of the naked.
7 You have given no water for the weary to drink, and you withheld food from the hungry.
