2 "Can any man be of benefit to God? Can even a wise man be of any help to him?
3 Job, what pleasure would it give the Mighty One if you were right? What would he get if you were completely honest?
4 "You say you have respect for him. Is that why he corrects you? Is that why he brings charges against you?
5 Haven't you done many evil things? Don't you sin again and again?
6 You took clothes away from your relatives just because they owed you some money. You left them naked for no reason at all.
7 You didn't give any water to people who were tired. You held food back from those who were hungry.
8 You did it even though you were honored and powerful. You owned land and lived on it.
