Nasty Job?

Job 22:5-9 - Is not your wickedness great?
Are not your sins endless?

You demanded security from your brothers for no reason;
you stripped men 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.

And you sent widows away empty-handed
and broke the strength of the fatherless.

Sure, Job was a sinner like everyone else, but did he really do all these nasty things that Eliphaz lists? I wonder if Eliphaz had proof of any of these sins or if they were hypothetical or guesses or examples of sins Job might have committed.
