## Eliphaz the Temanite ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See how you translated this in [Job 2:11](../02/11.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 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]])
