Job 13:4-13

4You use lies like plaster; you are all worthless healers.

5If only you would shut up and let that be your wisdom!

6Hear now my argument, and listen to my defense.

7Would you testify unjustly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for him?

8Would you show partiality to him or argue the case in his defense?

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.

11Would 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.
