1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:
2 “Can a man be profitable to God,as he who is wise may be profitable to himself?
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous?Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless?
4 “Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you,and enters into judgment with you?
5 Is not your wickedness great,and your iniquity infinite?
6 For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing,and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have not given water to the weary to drink,and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
