Job 13:6-12

6Please hear my argument And listen to the pleadings of my lips.

7Will you speak what is unjust for God, And speak what is deceitful for Him?

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?

10He 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.
