# Eliphaz the Temanite
|
|
|
|
See how you translated this man's name in [Job 2:11](../02/11.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
|

|
# Can a man be useful to God? Can a wise man be useful to him?
|
|
|
|
Both questions mean basically the same thing. Eliphaz uses questions to emphasize that a person's actions and wisdom do not benefit God. AT: "A man cannot be useful to God. A wise man cannot be useful to him." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[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 blameless?
|
|
|
|
Both of these statements mean the same thing. Eliphaz uses questions to emphasize that Job's actions do not help God. AT: "The Almighty does not receive any pleasure if you are righteous. He does not gain anything if you make your ways blameless." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
