Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

Verse 5 is found in chapter 22 of Job. Eliphaz moves partly beyond generalities and directly accuses Job of specific sins against the poor, widows, and needy. The literary problem is evident: the reader knows that these accusations do not correspond to the initial portrait of Job. The speech shows how a rigid theory can lead to inventing causes to explain inexplicable suffering.

Nein, deine Bosheit ist zu groß, und deiner Missetaten ist kein Ende.
Por cierto tu malicia es grande, Y tus maldades no tienen fin.
¿No es grande tu maldad? Tus culpas no tienen fin.
Ta méchanceté n'est-elle pas grande? Tes iniquités ne sont-elles pas infinies?
La tua malvagità non è essa grande? E le tue iniquità non son esse senza fine?
Porventura não é grande a tua malícia, e sem termo as tuas iniqüidades?
你的罪惡豈不是大嗎? 你的罪孽不是沒有窮盡嗎?
