Context
Eliphaz’s Third Speech
22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered :
22:2 “Is it to God that a strong man is of benefit ? Is it to him that even a wise man is profitable ?
22:3 Is it of any special benefit to the Almighty that you should be righteous , or is it any gain to him that you make your ways blameless ?
22:4 Is it because of your piety that he rebukes you and goes to judgment with you?
22:5 Is not your wickedness great and is there no end to your iniquity ?
22:6 “For you took pledges from your brothers for no reason , and you stripped the clothing from the naked .
22:7 You gave the weary no water to drink and from the hungry you withheld food .
22:8 Although you were a powerful man , owning land , an honored man living on it,
22:9 you sent widows away empty-handed , and the arms of the orphans you crushed .
22:10 That is why snares surround you, and why sudden fear terrifies you,
22:11 why it is so dark you cannot see , and why a flood of water covers you.
22:12 “Is not God on high in heaven ? And see the lofty stars , how high they are!
