Context of Job 13:11
9Would it go well if he examined you? Could you deceive him as you would deceive a man? 10Surely he would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality. Would God’s majesty not terrify you? Would his dread not fall on you? 12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ash; your defenses are made of clay. 13Be quiet, and I will speak. Let whatever comes happen to me.
