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.
