This verse comes from Eliphaz's third speech to Job, where he's trying to convince Job that if he repents and returns to God, he will be restored to prosperity. Eliphaz represents the traditional wisdom of his time that believed righteousness always leads to material blessing, though this theology is challenged throughout the book of Job.
