Eliphaz the Temanite

See how you translated this in Job 2:11.

Can a man be useful to God? Can a wise man be useful to him?

Eliphaz uses questions to emphasize that a person's actions or wisdom do not benefit God. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous? Is it gain to him if you make your ways perfect?

Both of these statements mean the same thing. Eliphaz uses questions again for emphasis. AT: "It does not benefit God if you are perfectly righteous" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
