Job 22:5
Is not your wickedness great? Are not your iniquities endless?
BSB
ASV
Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.
KJV
Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
Is not thy wickedness great? - That is, “Is it not utter presumption and folly for a man, whose wickedness is undoubtedly so great, to presume to enter into a litigation with God?” Eliphaz here “assumes” it as an undeniable proposition, that Job was a great sinner. This charge had not been directly made before.
