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? 10He will surely reprimand you If you secretly show partiality. Will 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. 13“Be silent before me so that I may speak; And let happen to me what may.
