Context of Job 13:10

8Will you show partiality for Him [and be unjust to me so that you may gain favor with Him]? Will you contend and plead for God? 9Will it be well for you when He investigates you [and your tactics against me]? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man? He will surely reprimand you If you secretly show partiality. 11Will not His majesty terrify you, And will not the dread of Him fall upon you? 12Your memorable sayings are [worthless, merely] proverbs of ashes; Your defenses are defenses of [crumbling] clay.
