1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 “Can a man be profitable to God?Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous?Or does it benefit him, that you make your ways perfect?
4 Is it for your piety that he reproves you,that he enters with you into judgement?
5 Isn’t your wickedness great?Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
