    Eliphaz accused Job of being impartial and discriminating against the poor, the orphans and the widows. These can be inferred from Chapter 22 verses 6 - 9.

    Explanation:

    The Book of Job from the Bible was written about the ordeal of Job under punishment by Satan as a test of faith for God. The three friends who came to observe him and even talk with hi about his suffering represent the many forms of observance. Eliphaz is one of the friends who came alongside the others - Elihu and Bildad.

    Eliphaz accused Job of discriminating against the widows and orphans, stating that he "sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless" (Job 22: 9). Moreover, he also claimed that

    "demanded security from your relatives for no reason;

    you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.

    You gave no water to the weary

    and you withheld food from the hungry,

    though you were a powerful man, owning land-

    an honored man, living on it." (Verses 6,7,8)
