Job 22:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 22:1

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said.
] As Eliphaz was the first that entered the discussion with Job, being perhaps the oldest man, and might be reckoned the wisest, so he gives the lead in every course of disputation; and here, instead of replying to Job's arguments and instances, at which he was very angry, betakes himself to calumny and reproach, and to draw invidious consequences, instead of making use of solid reasons for conviction and confutation.

Job 22:1 In-Context

1 Entonces respondió Elifaz temanita, y dijo:

2 ¿Puede un hombre ser útil a Dios, o un sabio útil para sí mismo?

3 ¿Es de algún beneficio al Todopoderoso que tú seas justo, o gana algo si haces perfectos tus caminos?

4 ¿Es a causa de tu piedad que El te reprende, que entra en juicio contigo?

5 ¿No es grande tu maldad, y sin fin tus iniquidades?
