“Can a man be of use to God? Can even a wise man benefit Him?

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2 “Can a man be of use to God? Can even a wise man benefit Him?
3 Does it delight the Almighty that you are righteous? Does He profit if your ways are blameless?
4 Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?
5 Is not your wickedness great? Are not your iniquities endless?
6 For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing.
